Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone can help with our search. After careful consideration me and my husband have decided to follow our dream and relocate to a small village. However, there’s so many to sift through ha!
We want to live on the outskirts of a small village, so don’t have to be central but around 10-15 minute drive would be perfect. We want a small-ish village but with quite a few shops/cafes/restaurants. Quite rural but not too much so we would find it difficult to travel to work. We can both work in any major town, ie Leeds, York, Manchester, etc so we can move pretty much anywhere. However, we don’t want to move anywhere near London or further south than that.
We also need a good primary and secondary for our children.
Up to now we have seen Kirkby Lonsdale, which we love but not sure if its a bit far to commute, I don’t fancy doing the school run and travelling an hour everyday to work. My husband starts work very early and finishes gone 6pm so I’m the one who does all the pick ups and drop offs. Maximum about 30 mins I’m looking for.
We also came some across the Cotswolds and surrounding areas but not sure which villages to look at, if anyone could give us some direction that would be great.
Our budget is £400,000, we want a 4 bedroom detached house. Preferably not too close to other houses, or at least enclosed. Good views are extremely important too.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
