moving to Northwich

[Lindseyk74]

Hello (my original post disappeard ) I have two boys ages 11 and 7 and we are all moving up to Cheshire from Birmingham in the summer as my husband has got a new job in Northwich, I was originally going to wait until the boys had finished the school year but as #1 son will be starting high school in September I thought it might be a good idea to move after SATS so he can have a smooth transition, I have been frantically emailing all the local schools to ask about places and would appreciate any advice or tips about the surrounding areas.
thank you.

Glad you've got a house now. Hope the move goes well

Hi all,
Been here a week and all settled in.
Boys start their new school on Monday -eeek!

Congratulations and welcome to Winnington.
Wish you all the best in your new home!!x

Glad the move went well and hope the boys have a good day tomorrow. I'm sure everything will be fine

Fantstic and welcome!

Hi all,

Me and my partner are relocating out of Manchester and are looking for advice. We are first time buyers and don't want to pay Manchester city centre prices when we don't actually use or need the city centre for anything. We both grew up in small towns and are not really "city people" so we would like to move to somewhere a bit smaller with more of a community feel but also not too small (a population of 15k-100k would probably be ideal). We would also like to be close to the airport so south Manchester if possible.

We really like the look of Northwich and have found a house we really like. The main reasons we like Northwich are:

• Houses are more affordable than the surrounding towns and villages
• It is a nice, manageable size i.e. a happy medium between Manchester and 'the middle of nowhere'
• We think it looks quite pretty with the river running through the town centre
• Easy commute to Chester (30 minutes), Manchester (40 minutes), Liverpool (45 minutes), Manchester Airport (20 minutes)

However, neither of us are from the area, know the area or know anyone that knows the area so we would really appreciate if someone was able to give us a bit of information about the town and give us the positives and negatives of the town so that we can make a slightly more informed decision.

Thanks in advance!
