We've lived in a noisy area for years; aircraft noise, motorways, and now our neighbours have become complete arseholes and play loud music every sunny day. I dream of walking out of the house and just hearing birds tweet. We've found a house that sits by itself in a bit cut out of a field. No neighbours in sight. 1 mile from the centre of a small town, still within 15 minutes drive of our old area and close friends.
What am I missing? Are there any reasons why this move would be a bad idea? I worry about being so isolated - will we get burgled more often? Please tell me what I need to know to make a good decision.

Sounds great to me.

Can you walk into the town? If not it would be a deal breaker for me as I hate having to drive everywhere. Also factor in ferrying around children if you have them.

Yes it's walkable, but no pavement on a country lane. Kids long gone so no ferrying about needed.
