Myself, Hubby and 12 year old Son have been planning a move out of Essex to a quieter, slower paced life up North for 2 years now. Where as we started researching and searching homes around Cumbria, moving toward Penrith and Northern Lancaster all online, we are finally ready to go...House is sold, ones ready to rent and we're visiting to view 3 properties in 2 weeks time!!! So excited..However, everywhere we find seems to have some kind of bad opinion from someone. So one house we are seeing is in Wilton Close, Lancaster and I've heard the Skerton/Reylands area is rough, so should I be avoiding Wilton Close? Then we are seeing one on Kellet Road, Carnforth and the 3rd is in Milnthorpe. We want to be close to the M6, and all the lovely country walks/views/lakes etc without feeling like we are overlooked by a concrete jungle where we are now, but still good amenities and a safe place for my growing Son to make good friends and happy memories. I'm a Paramedic and the Hubby an Engineer and live in an area that is deemed pretty run down now. Though I'm not terrified to make a jump and change to somewhere new, I equally don't want to jump out of the fire - into the frying pan...All tips and advice asap would be greatly appreciated..thank you
