Hello everyone,
I'd be really grateful for some advice. We are interested in moving West of London with our two LOs who are 2 and 4. Somewhere within a 2-hour drive of London - so probably between roughly Maidenhead and Marlborough.
I know that's a massive approximate search area, and I'd love some help narrowing it down. My husband and I are very happy in south London but are desperate for more space and a rural life for the children. Because we are happy where we are for now, we are being very romantic and desperately looking for the 'perfect' village.
We'd like:
- A village west of London
- Within 2 hour drive of London
- Train station not essential
- Lovely village - I always think of a Miss Marple type place - quintessentially pretty and English
- Preschool/nursery
- Primary school
- Shop
- Pub
Does this exist?? We like Cookham, but I think I'd like somewhere even more rural and a bit smaller perhaps.
Any help very gratefully received.
