There are a number of reasons why the wealthy are favouring remote living over the hustle of city life. This trend has been accelerated by the increasing ability of high-income individuals to work from home, leading people to move beyond city limits and reap the benefits of living in rural areas. One such benefit is increased privacy, something that is highly valued by the elite. It limits the need for intensive security systems and enables people to live a life that is entirely their own.
 
Cleaner air and lower noise pollution are two further benefits, along with the proximity to nature. It is far easier to maintain a healthy work-life balance when living in an area where the pace of life is slower and stress factors are significantly lower. Rural properties are naturally far larger given the ample space available away from the high-rises of the city, with rolling acres of green fields ripe for design and development.
 
Living remotely in the UK is easily attainable, especially in the towns and villages mentioned in this guide.
