Hi Everybody,
I know this has previously been asked before, but ...
My husband is originally from Durham and I am from Brighton. We currently live on the South Coast just outside of the Brighton area.
We've been looking at house prices and where we currently live house prices for a detached house start from around £400k.
We spend some time up in the Durham area visiting my OH's family and most recently we had a drive around some areas to gage what they were like -we keep seeing houses on Rightmove, but wanted to see the areas for ourselves.
We've narrowed it down to several places:
Witton-Le-Wear
High Shincliffe
Brancepath
Broompark
Shadforth
Lanchester
Obviously being a Southerner, I am a bit concerned about the relocation, namely around not meeting new people and leaving my family behind, but I do feel this is the right move for us.
We're also looking at schools and would be looking at a state Catholic school. My OH went to St Leonards and says it's a very good school, but some of the areas we are looking at are outside the catchment area.
Any advise on relocating / how to meet people etc would be welcomed. I am also an avid am dram bod and would love to know if there are any thriving drama societies in the area too.
Many thanks, JJ
