I know this is a nice problem to have, on the face of it - but really struggling to decide for the past few years. I've visited lots of areas but no where feels like home. Help!!

Budget 500k, ideally a detatched house with a decent garden. 2 adults. Ideally 3 or 4 bed.
My perfect area:
-semi rural
-walking distance to basic shop/Post office /pub
-lovely countryside walks from the door
-no more than 10/15 mins drive from decent town with job opportunities and activities

Does it exist? DH likes Shropshire, but neither of us know the area well enough to hone in anywhere. Currently in the Midlands and can't afford detatched around here so happy to move, fresh start.

No DC or family/friends to consider or jobs to commute to but would be looking for new jobs once moved. Hoping someone can point me somewhere that may suit!

Much to be said for Shropshire including climate - but do watch the flooding in some areas. Fuckwit council (unless something big changes today which I fear is unlikely) who do no maintenance and are keen to build on floodplains. And worsen traffic with more roads.

I also think southern Shropshire would suit you.
