A PURBECK village has been named among the poshest places to live in Britain.
A new list of 54 of the UK’s poshest places to live has been compiled by The Telegraph – and it includes Studland in Dorset, pictured.

The list was compiled using data such as house price data from Savills, costs of living and lifestyle benefits.
Places deemed ‘most desirable’ ran from Essex to Cornwall.

In Dorset, Studland was the only village featured, with an average house price of more than £970,000.
Frances Clacy, an analyst at Savills, said: “People want villages that have a bit of everything, from schools to stunning countryside, with accessibility to cities and transport infrastructure.
“Less well-trumpeted factors count too, such as the main road through the village should only lead to other villages.”
Village life has become more appealing, the stufy said, with home working becoming more achievable since the Covid-19 pandemic.

A total of 57 percent of estate agents working with Savills reported a rise in demand in the most desirable countryside locations, with 57% saying they were unable to buy where they wanted.
Elsewhere in the south west, Wellow in Somerset made the list, with an average house price of £954,993.
The village of Rock in Cornwall, with an average house price of £1,080,534, benefits from a reputation forged in the 1990s, when Princes William and Harry holidayed there, while current residents include Gordon Ramsay.
