Hello, everyone!
DH,two DD's and myself need your help on deciding where to live.
My DH is British and I'm British/Dutch.
We currently live in Hilversum near Amsterdam and originally wanted to move to England before the new school year starts but I don't think that's going to happen, so the second option is we move before or right after Christmas.
DH works in Bromley now and I have to travel a lot for my job so we need to live near a train station.
DH is willing to travel for max. 2 hours to Bromley and 2 hours back.
We have a DD aged 17 and a DD aged 7 so we also need to look at primary and secondary schools.
Our budget is 350,000 for a 2/3 bed.+ a garden that can fit a medium sized trampoline.
We thought about moving to London (Highbury area) since we have friends there but it's too expensive for our taste.
We looked at places like Arundel, Brighton, Farnham, Canterbury, Windsor and Battle. I really like Arundel but there isn't a secondary school in Arundel. DD17 really likes Brighton but I don't. Farnham is nice but also expensive and so are Canterbury and Windsor.
Battle is nice too and has secondary schools but it's too far away from any good cities/towns (except for Hastings and I've heard it's not a nice place.)
So, do you have any advice on what to do? Good schools? Nice towns with a train station/easy access to London? Thank you for helping!
