Going round and round in circles trying to figure out where would be best to move to to buy a home (currently rent in N London).
Need to be able to get to the city with max door to door commute of an hour (so 30-40 min travel)
Want somewhere that:-
Is near outside space, preferably attractive countryside (we love being outside and want a dog)
Good schools
Community feel
Cinema and shops nearby
Pleasant town/village with character
We have £450k and would like something 2/3 bed with garden and preferably period property and fairly spacious.
Part of the problem is parents lives in Suffolk, friends are all over, but mainly Kent and DH's parents is SW so no real draw anywhere. I would love to move back South but not sure if I should try moving closer to my parents (though realistically won't be nearer than 11/2 hours to them).
Any ideas? Currently thinking
Berkhamsted
Oxted
Epping
Harpenden
Enfield Chase
