We are renting at the moment, with our 3 children (one in P2, pre-school twins. We've rented in quite a rural place for the last three years and prefer it over city living. I need to go into Glasgow two or three days per week, but can often stay over with a friend one night. Important are good schools, outside space, at least 4 bedrooms and a house that is more or less ready to move in, preferably with nice views. Somewhere with a good sense of community and where our children would be able to go see other kids without having to be ferried to an fro in time would be great. We have found some nice places we can afford near Moffat, (our maximum budget is 350k) but were wondering if there are other possibilities we are missing. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be fab.
