Is Stonehouse, Gloucester nice place to live?

[OW0809]

Hi all

We are looking to relocate closer to Bristol.
Our budget is £450k and we need 4 bed property somewhere that has a train station with direct train to Bristol.

Schools are also important.

Where we urrently live, we are surrounded by countryside (which we love) and completely stuck on locations.

We have looked at Chippenham, but feel we don't get a lot for our money.

We are considering to compromise on train, so decided to look at Stonehouse

Could anyone give their honest opinions what is it like? Is there much to do for children? Schools? We are currently primary age but if location works, secondary schools would also be of a consideration.

Any other ideas would also be very welcome

Many thanks in advance

The house I'm looking at is around Maidenhill School, but I'm not sure. It's not within walking distance to my favorite store, Lidl or Aldi. Only store in the town is Coop which is very expensive😂

If it's higher up the hill that's nice, other parts around there personally I wouldn't recommend!

Sorry not much help

If anyone is looking at this thread, we actually decided to settle on Cirencester! Felt it was more us after being in London for so long stonehouse/stroud just didn’t feel right.
