Who, where, what, and why!
We (myself, wife, and 2yo daughter) are planning a move further North to be closer to family who live in south Manchester. We've been offered new jobs in Crewe and Warrington, so are somewhat restricted in areas to Northwich, Knutsford way, down to Middlewich, Holmes Chapel.
We have just accepted an offer on our property, and would be looking at a mortgage and cash potential of up to 330k.
We're really looking for a detached 4 bed so we have room for expanding the family and to have a guest room for family that will visit from further afield.
Help please!
We were mainly looking for some advice on areas to move to, having seen a wonderfully helpful thread for things to look out for:

What we've determined so far
So far we quite like the idea of Northwich suburbs (particularly Hartford, Davenham), but struggle to find a house in budget. We have found a potential in Leftwich area, but we know nothing about it, and it just looks like houses and nothing else... Would we feel too isolated on a street without young kids, or without shops/parks within a 10 minute walk?
Our budget stretches fairly well to north Middlewich, but we don't know the area either.
Does anyone know what schools are like around Leftwich, Middlewich area, as we're planning for primary school, and want to set ourselves up in the right area for secondaries too so we don't have to move again!
