What Christmas is really like if you live in Leeds millionaire street
Residents in one of Leeds’ wealthiest areas have opened up on their plans for Christmas and their most extravagant gifts.
Lavish mansions are dotted around with luxury cars parked up in the driveways behind the electric gates, along Manor House Lane and Wigton Lane in Alwoodley. House prices in Manor House Lane averaged out to £2,675,000 over the last year, according to Rightmove, with Wigton Lane’s average house prices coming to £635,000.Last year when we visited the millionaire neighbourhood, visitors said they were made to feel “unwelcome”.
'The two-year-old plays with boxes' Chris Clarke, a recruitment director who lives on Manor House Lane, said residents don’t tend to mingle in festive cheer on the day. The father-of-two stressed that Christmas was a “very specific family thing” however, and says that he has grand plans for his Christmas tree this year. He’s looking to purchase and enormous 8ft tree.
