We are in Herts and will be looking to relocate in around 12-18m. We are considering areas around Cambridge, also like Bury St Edmunds, but honestly do not know these areas well at all. Daughter is off to uni in Oct & plan was always to sell our 4 bed detached in Herts at this point & move somewhere slightly smaller & maybe a bit further north. Originally we considered Nottingham as hubby from that area, but my family are in Chelmsford & Essex coast. So we've decided to still be close enough to Chelmsford but maybe slightly closer to Notts than we are now. The areas around Cambridge interest us as its a pretty good midway point. We wouldn't need to commute to London, husband will be mainly home based with occasional visits to Liverpool Street for work. I don't drive so not looking for rural, ideally somewhere with a train station or good bus way links. We like a bit of life, pubs, some shops etc, so a town or large village. It's a big decision and we are struggling to find a place we love which also works location wise. The problem is 2 of my husband's siblings are in Nottingham and my family, my parents and sister, are all East. My husband parents are no longer with us and I now feel I don't want to be as far away as Notts from all my family. Moving East takes us even further from Notts so we are really stuck to please everyone! A mid way point seems sensible. Any suggestions for a town/large village, ideally with a station and a bit of life would be great, so we can research and explore some places and areas. We are quite social, like to walk and I'd need opportunities to make new friends. All suggestions welcome 😊 Thank you.
