Hi all
We're looking to start TTC, but we currently live in London (SW), and as much as we love it here we don't want to stay in a rented flat forever.
Our families are both up north so it makes sense that we'd move up there, so we can afford to buy a house, and also be close to family.
We're quite set on being around Stockport, and we think we're down to 3 areas - Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall and Heaton Moor. We've lived around Putney/Wimbledon and they seem to have a similar 'vibe'.
Just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on any of the areas, any pluses/minuses to consider? We know the areas fairly well now, but not in terms of schools or family life.
Bit of additional info: We're looking for a 3-4 bed semi or a small detached (ideal - can't cope with sharing walls with other flats anymore 😂, but budget prob won't stretch to that). Basically we want a town but with access to green space, but not isolated - walkable to get bits from the shop / go for a coffee / to the pub. And access to trains running to Stockport & Manchester for shopping/drinks/work etc. All seem to tick the box, with slightly less going on in Bramhall, but maybe it has more green space?
I guess it's more on opinions on nurseries/schools/family life/general feel of the place - any input welcome!
