The opening of TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson’s new pub, ‘The Farmer’s Dog’, has brought with it a spike in property searches for nearby Burford.
New location data from Rightmove shows that the 24th of August, the day after the pub’s opening, saw the highest number of searches for homes for sale in Burford, in the small village of Asthall in The Cotswolds, in over a year.
Meanwhile, across the pub’s opening Bank Holiday weekend, the number of searches for homes for sale in Burford was 63% higher than the same four days a year ago.
This is not the first time that Jeremy Clarkson has inspired people to head to Rightmove and look at homes for sale.
The launch of series one and series two of ‘Clarkson’s Farm’ brought a spike in searches for Chadlington, where the program is set.
The average asking price for a home in the postcode area of Burford is £537,827.
Rightmove’s Tim Bannister said: “The Cotswolds will always inspire people to search and explore what living in one of its many areas of beauties could be like, and Jeremy Clarkson’s ventures have added further intrigue. Whether it’s to see what living next to his farm would be like, or planning the best route to the pub, people have headed straight to Rightmove to see homes for sale nearby.”
