Hi,
We're looking to move to the Christchurch area sometime in the new year. We currently live in Bedfordshire so don't have many opportunities to check out what areas we like/don't like etc.
We have decided to narrow our search to Christchurch and the surrounding area - namely Southbourne/Iford and Purewell/Stanpit and obviously Christchurch as well.
My husband will be commuting to London twice a week so we need to be relatively close to a train station and I have a nearly 4 yr old and a 6 month old so we need to be close to a good/outstanding infant school.
We've seen some lovely houses in Purewell but I'm unsure about the noise from the bypass - is it particularly noisy?
What areas should we avoid? We live quite rural at the moment and I'd love to be closer to a town but I'm unsure about living in central Christchurch - does it feel too busy?
So many questions and don't know where to start!
Many thanks,
Kate
