Hi I currently live in Paddock Wood Kent, I private rent and I am now in a position to buy a house (3 bed). We have one daughter who will be of primary school age when we move. I am stuck on which area to move to. Things I like about paddock wood are great train links to London, little high street, lots of woodlands and greenery. Things I don’t love is that there isn’t much school choices primary or secondary here so planning for my little one’s future I’m thinking buying elsewhere may be smarter. Budget £425k so prices me out of a lot of areas - can’t really afford tonbridge or Tunbridge wells. Have been looking at Staplehurst/Headcorn/Rochester/Folkestone/Canterbury.
Anyone got a view on any of the above areas or any other area in Kent I should consider? I’m particularly interested in areas which are considered good for bringing up children and those which have really good primary and secondary school education.
thanks
