New research from Woolwich, the mortgage arm of Barclays, has found that homeowners pay a premium for living in quintessential English lanes. A three bedroom semi-detached house located in a 'Lane' is worth on average almost £50,000 more than an equivalent house on a 'Drive', and VisualMedia were commissioned to try and capture this visually. The subsequent announcement captured the imagination of the press with the Telegraph devoting a whole page to it recently.
