Thinking seriously of throwing in the towel at work to be a SAHM for the next couple of years to get my 4 tricky teens thru exams etc. Would have 750K to spend if cleared mortgage. DH works in Leatherhead so would look to move max 1hr commute S, E or W from there. Would like to be detached and as rural/remote as possible in beautiful countryside...can anyone suggest villages/areas to focus on - need access to good state secondaries......

Wow - thanks No....will start looking....which is the furthest out? -- trying to get most for our money and assuming the further away we go from Leatherhead the more we get?

Slinfold , some of the Sussex villages towards Arundel, Chichester or Worthing (Steyning, Bramber, Selsey, Goodwood etc)? Avoid those near the Gatwick flight path like Capel and Newdigate

If you want your money to go further avoid Surrey and look at villages in north part of West Sussex. Should be about an hour max to Leatherhead. Some excellent outstanding secondary schools in Billingshurst and Horsham that serve the villages and lots of countrysideGrin.
