It looks like I got a job offer in Kidlington. Not confirmed and could still be London, but I get the impression that it'll be the Oxford location. However, my partner will need to get into High Street Kensington twice a week. I'll also only be required to be in the office twice a week (at least that's what the manager thinks). So looking for places with an easy commute to both.
We have a 4 year old who will be starting school in September. I do drive and have a car, but I keep reading awful things about driving to commute. My partner doesn't drive, so we still need to be within easy reach of station. Plus, I'd love to have the option of the train if I want.
We would be looking to rent at first (3 bed house). We own a flat in London and are hoping to rent it out to see how we get on first. It will be at least a 2 year commitment.
Would be interested in hearing some suggestions. We have looked at Didcot, but not too keen. We loved Wantage when we spent time there, but no train. Also looking at Bicester and Ayelsbury. Abingdon is another option, but no train. Ideally neither of us would commute more than 65 minutes, but that's looking difficult unless I'm missing something.
