We work remotely so can live anywhere but with a newborn and 2yr old we would like it to be our last move until after secondary school. All family lives overseas so no ties and friends scattered around.
We would like to live somewhere between Southampton and Exeter as we love all of it after many many holidays in the area
What we are looking for is a lovely market town or village outside a town, good schools (doesnt matter about Ofsted but well regarded locally means more in our opinion) and a 4 bed house for £700k or less. Friendly area ideally where we can stay long term.
We thought Ottery St Mary was the place but wondering if we have got that right? Are there other places we should be considering
We live rurally now so rural living downsides such as rubbish internet and traffic being challenging we know about
