Wetherby is a market town on the River Wharfe in the City of Leeds, about 12 miles from Leeds city centre, 12 miles from York, and 8 miles from Harrogate, making it one of the most centrally placed commuter towns in West Yorkshire. It has been a staging post on the Great North Road for centuries and the A1(M) runs close to its eastern edge. The LS22 postcode covers the town and an arc of desirable villages including Boston Spa, Collingham, Linton, Sicklinghall, and the rural parishes toward Bramham and Thorner. Average house prices in LS22 sit around £665,000, well above the UK average and reflecting the premium placed on the town by commuters to Leeds, Harrogate, and York alike. The housing stock in Wetherby itself spans Georgian and Victorian properties in the town centre around the Market Place and the Bridge, interwar and post-war semis on the residential streets, and newer development on the outskirts. The surrounding LS22 villages lean heavily toward stone-built detached houses on larger plots.
