LET'S MOVE TO: Richmond

LOCATION LOCATION

Richmond is a characterful Georgian market town in Swaledale, surrounded by its fair share of pretty villages. Founded by the Normans in 1071, the town developed around one of the oldest Norman stone fortresses in Britain, Richmond Castle, which was built on the ‘riche-mont’ or ‘strong hill’ that gave the town its name. Richmond features a broad cobbled marketplace and many interesting Georgian and Victorian buildings. This beautiful town has loads of great walking routes to explore along the river, plenty of great pubs, cafes and tearooms, as well as independent shops selling books, antiques, clothes and everything in between.

BAG A PROPERTY

Property in Richmond and its neighboring villages is in high demand with the average house price being £227,000. A five-bedroom detached new build on the town’s outskirts costs £465,000 while a four-bedroom terraced property in the centre of Richmond is priced at £330,000 and a two-bedroom apartment, again in the town centre, is £180,000. Head out to the villages and a four-bedroom detached 8-year-old house in Hudswell is £350,000 while a five-bedroom barn conversion in East Layton is £750,000.
