We are in a terrace in Wimbledon, DH has a new job in Barbican and I work in St Paul's. We both take an hour to work door to door. We sometimes cycle to work as it is quicker.
We are looking for a detatched 4 bed in good state primary catchment, ideally with a good sized garden (for a trampoline! And our 2 under 2 to run around.) Priority is keeping DH's commute to under 1hr which is a real pain.
I can't seem to find anything suitable scouring the Thameslink line on rightmove. The most suggested to us is st albans, but detatched houses there are so far away from the station adding on so much time that it is not worthwhile. Or completely out of budget. Similar for bromley/chislehurst/Orpington/sevenoaks - using Google maps door to door commute times are all over an hour. Im not familar with north london, did look at harrow but didnt see amything nor did it feel right. Then there is surrey - Woking? Fast to Waterloo but not onwards to barbican. Any ideas, or should I accept that his commute is going to be over an hour to find such a house?
