We have had 15 years of apartment living in London and really enjoyed it... until the LO came along. Now I hate it! We need to move as soon as possible but have no idea to where. We need a commute no longer than an hour or so, definitely want the countryside not a suburb, fantastic schools - state or independent and don't mind if it is a little secluded (after so many years of living on top of neighbours, some seclusion would be bliss. I moved to London from a remote part of Scotland so understand what it entails).
We have no family down here so no starting point as to where to look and an hours commute around London covers a massive area! My LO is only a few months old so I know nothing about schools but would pick an area purely based on the schools as that is our only given at the moment. Ideally an area that has great choice of schools for all ages - do these places exist? - as we wouldn't really want to move again in the future. We have a London flat in a sought after area to sell so will be able to afford a decent property.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be so grateful!
