Where should we move to?

Currently in Oxfordshire but like more outdoor space& rural living. Thinking off heading up North.

Budget 800k
We are looking for a house with plenty of garden - formal, veg and possibly orchard. Walled garden would be a massive bonus.
Needs to have at least a double garage.
4 /5 bedrooms max, no low ceiling as DH is 6ft7
Country views

We are quite handy and possible project is an option

Ideally half an hr drive from a city with hospital, shops and a train station
Pub nearby ( walking distance) and plenty of nice walks.

Any ideas where to start looking?

Shropshire is beautiful.
How about this or this? It doesn't fulfil all criteria but it gives an idea of what's out there.
I see that others are suggesting that general area, too!

Stirlingshire, Perth shire are lovely and you'd get a lot of house and land for that.

North Yorkshire. Near the coast, moors and dales and can be half an hour away from York or Harrogate

Never thought of Shropshire, love the 4 bed cottage senua!

I should have written 800k max most of the houses that need work need at least another 200k which we don't have😁
