Name this town please!

[whereishome]

Good sized market town;
Nice countryside but near large town/city;
Excellent primary schools, stretching;
Some choice of private schools;
Able to walk to school instead of drive;
Pretty town, aesthetically pleasing;
Refined feel to the area;
1 and a half hours commute to London.

Can anyone help me name this town? Or does it not exist? Thank you!

Cierncester? Just under 1.5 hours on the train, about 2 hours by road.

Wokingham is only an hour and ten minutes from London, but otherwise fits your requirements. It's very expensive, though.

OUndle, Northants

Petersfield?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petersfield

Wells, near Bristol and just about 2 hours to London :)

Oundle, Rutland type places?

Winchester?

Godalming?

Stratford upon Avon?

Somewhere near Winchester or Salisbury?

I can do you a couple if you replace London with Leeds, Sheffield or Manchester.

Stamford, lincs

Bruton in Somerset.

Sywell village in Northamps ticks most boxes and is stunning

Increase the size of the town too much and you increase the number of schools which are less favoured and the price of the houses near the schools you want your children to get into. You then wouldn't be able to afford a house near the schools you want and would end up with a school you didn't want. You might as well go back to renting in Guildford.

This is fabulous! Just what I need! Thank you so much! I promise to check out every suggestion made

YY to Stamford, Lincs

Woodstock, Oxon, or some of the other Cotswold type places.

Lewes, East Sussex ticks all those boxes.
Tunbridge Wells does too I think.

East Anglia, Norwich 2 hours & Ipswich 1 hour by train to Liverpool Street. Lots of market towns & lots of space. Plenty of schools to choose from, private & state. Get a lot more house for your money!

Wantage or Newbury

Warwick - assuming commute is via train

a town on the Peterborough line (biggleswade, st neots, huntingdon) or the Cambridge line if you're talking trains.

Leamington Spa

Hitchin
Letchworth
Baldock
St albans

All about half hour from London

Romsey Berkhamsted Chelmsford

Sevenoaks.
Or even Orpington.
