"Getting these people to sell up their huge houses and move back to London to live in a broom cupboard for the same price again is going to meet with a level of resistance that is going to make trench warfare look clean and painless."
That's easy to see after watching a few episodes of "Escape to the Country". Any place that has train service to London, Manchester, etc that's no more than an hour or so is seeing lots of new home buyers. Even if you do have to show up to a city job once a week, an hour on the train each way isn't a big deal.
