So.....
We live in South Woodford. Just sold and living with family in Walthamstow. Initial our search area was limited the South Woodford/wanstead area but we need to branch out and I'm wondering how far we could go.
Here's our list of requirements:
3 bed (decent sized rooms)
Possibility to extend
On central line or easy to access central line (for DH work)
Roads which lead to Bow/Mile End (for my work as I drive)
Has to be in catchment for a primary school (this usually means within half a mile if that) and a decent secondary.
Period property. (Love Victorian and Edwardian. But 1930's semi is fine)
Ability to get to Walthamstow and Hackney easily as that's where our families are and we see them every week.
We have been forced into looking at houses in Redbridge/clayhall.
It's just really depressing. Lots of identikit roads off a massive dual carriageway. Really ugly houses.
But more in budget.
Now thinking maybe we should branch out. We've looked at parts of Leytonstone. Generally though the Waltham Forest secondary schools are terrible which is putting us off.
Any magical ideas about where we could go that's not too rough?(please don't say Forest Gate!)
