Moving to Cheshire

Hi

I posted a few weeks ago and got some great advice about areas of Cheshire to look at as we are relocating in January.

We went over this weekend and checked out some areas, the key thing to us is good high schools nearby for our son who is currently in year 6, somewhere preferably that is not too difficult to get to as he is painfully shy and quite young for his age so would find multiple bus journeys etc quite overwhelming.

We have a budget of 250 - 300k. We recently got some info on mortgages and could go to 350k but would leave us really stretched. We need to be within 30 mins of Ellesmere Port.

These are what we have seen when we were there.

Stockton Heath - liked but not loved. It seemed quite busy and not very green compared to where we live currently, we did like the cafés and restaurants here though. My husband is working in Cheshire already and is renting a place in Stockton Heath so we will be spending a lot of time here until we find where to move to.

Appleton - we really really liked, but it is very expensive and we can't see anything nice within our budget.

Tarporley - again we loved but might not be able to afford here

Chrisleton - DH's favourite, loved the village feel, the high school is so close by. We would need to settle for a 3 bed semi for our budget though (currently in 4 bed detached so downsize)

Holmes chapel - really liked, nice cul de sacs for our son to play with friends in, high school nearby. But feels a bit further away from work.

Sandiway & Cuddington - we liked but have only had a quick drive through so need to spend some more time here.

Is there anywhere we are missing that we might like baring in mind these ones we have liked so far?

We've ruled out...Frodsham, Great Sankey & Middlewich

Thanks, I really do appreciate everyone's help (sorry this is so long trying to give as much info as possible)

If you're still looking there's a 4 bed semi detached for sale in Knightsbridge avenue, Grappenhall. It looks pristine, quite stylishly extended and very neutrally decorated, ready to just move into. It's on for £285,000. Knightsbridge ave is a very family orientated avenue where children can play safely. It is definitely worth a look as it offers lots of space and is competitively priced. Hth
