We are looking for a house to buy with the massive budget of £250k. We are currently in Mottingham, SE9, and DH commutes into Angel on the northern line from London Bridge. We have been looking at Eltham and Kidbrooke, but I think we will be unhappy with the size of house we will be able to afford.
So we have decided to look a bit further, but I have no idea where to look! I don't drive at all and while DH has a license, we don't have a car and would rather not. So near a station with reasonably frequent, fast service into London (London Bridge or St Pancras ideally, but any station will do).
We need a 3 bedroom house with a garden, no structural work needed but happy with cosmetic improvements. Close to good primary schools as DS1 starts reception in 2015 and DS2 the year after. Based on what I have seen so far and where we have been living, I think we probably want upwards of 1000 sq feet floor space (the DC have a lot of toys!).
Any ideas? I know it's not a lot of money, but I'm hoping somebody can come up with a nice, not too pricey area for us!
