A study claims the 'Downton Abbey effect' means that buyers are willing to pay a premium¹ to live close to some of Britain's grandest estates.

一项研究称，这种“唐顿庄园效应”意味着买家愿意花更多钱，只为住得离英国一些名门望族的宅院近一些。

A new report shows that three-quarters of areas with well-known estates had higher house prices than the county average.

Homeowners lucky enough to live near a stately home have seen their property rise in value by about £9,000 every year over the last decade.

This equates² to about £89,500 since 2005, compared to the national average of £39,000.

Homes in Hampstead Heath, close to Kenwood House, currently command the highest premium of £770,000 more than the London average.

Homes close to Highclere Castle, where BBC period drama Downton Abbey is filmed, cost £155,000 more than a typical Berkshire house.

Economist³ Martin Ellis, at Halifax, said: 'Stately homes are not only attractive place to visit but, as our research shows, desirable places to live near to.

'Since 2005 the average house price growth in areas close to stately homes has been more than double the national figure.'
