Wanting to move to Leigh on the sea

[Villla0]

Me and my husband are living in London at the moment and we have been trying to buy a property for almost a year with 3 unsuccesful goes. That made us reconsider our options and we started looking at Leigh on the sea. We absolutely fell in love with it, we are willing to commute in order to have a different life. However we came accross some articles regarding the aircraft noise and that it has been unbearable with night flights recently. We would be very grateful if the locals could really share their views. We are looking at Marine estate, but are quite concern now because we can see that the flight path actually goes just above it. With me being 4 months pregnant we would really like to find something and move before the baby comes.

@Jjop also does it get much cooler than London during the winter months? We have only been during a better weather, that’s why it is hard to imagine.

We have also noticed that there is plenty of places to choose to buy fresh meat and fish, so nice that there are still independent shops left.

You could try further out and near belfairs wood and the other side of the A127 into Eastwood (still prt of Leigh) we’ve got cherry orchard country park which is lovely with woods and trails and a lake. Still close to Leigh and good transport links to Rayleigh station by bus it’s on the Liverpool st line

It’s easier to park too and cheaper

@toomanyhobbies thank you, we would like to stay on the south side of A127 and have an option to walk to the seaside. At the same time, we would like to pick the spot which wouldn’t be too overcrowded during the summer. Although I can see that Leigh has less hotels comparing to Westcliff or Southend.

Hello I live in London council property I want to move to Leigh on sea what are the chances of this plz

Leigh or any surroundings areas (where we live) are lovely. Great facilities, schools including 2 grammars, sports teams and plenty of parks/woodlands to visit.
