We're seriously thinking of moving under an hour away from where we are now into the peaks to either Bakewell or Matlock (started viewing properties etc). It's either that or chicken out and stay where we are in OK but bland suburbia. We/ I have been considering this for sometime and these are places we are very familiar with from day trips. Our 2 DC's are in school but only just (reception and YR 1), we need another bedroom anyway so moving is on the cards anyway (moving schools would need to be 'worth it'). Such a move would be with the intention of moving for change in lifestyle, a house with a view / garden / outdoor space, more outdoor pursuits and a general 'nicer area' and good secondary schools. Jobs wouldn't be really effected - DH works at home or remotely and my job would be fairly
I've looked at demographic data etc which suggests amongst other stuff that there is a igh proportion of older people and it just got me thinking what it's really like to live in such places as a young family and what are the pro's and cons as obviously, as a previous day tripper, I am mindful of seeing it all through rose tinted glasses. Any advice, tips, points to mull over would be greatly appreciated.
