(I live in the UK) I not fully in the middle in the know-where but at the edge of a small town in the middle of the countryside 1hr 45mins by train to london. Regarding Salary it depends where you want to live as in the UK there are other parts of the country that are actually a lot more expensive than london with way higher average house prices as just don't have any low end properties.
Like Coltswold villages as average houses prices can be 700k - 800k UK pounds plus. So it all depends, but I being living in a nice average house outside city now for nearly 2 years which I could not afford in london and highly recommend getting out of the rat race, as life is much slower when out of city living.
I actually have IMAX cinema not far from me and lot of amazing pubs and restaurants so really feel I am not missing out.
Thinks like being able to walk outside your door, with 5 minutes be on a public footpath and heading into the countryside and having clean air to breath. It the health benefits for me.
