I'm looking for recommendations please!
I need a town, with adequate primary schools (pastoral care more important than academics), walkable + train station, in a not super rough area, where £250k can buy a modest house (terraced is fine) with garden, where the third bedroom is bigger than 8x5, preferably in the south east! I wouldn't leave our current seaside town (although it's not our first choice) but for the lack of affordable garden properties.
Does such a place exist or are we moving north? I'm gutted that our kids have a lovely flat but no garden, ds4 desperately needs one for his energy. I didn't forsee this as I was not an outdoorsy child and also grew up in a flat with no garden.
We could wait another 4 years until we have no childcare costs and increase our budget significantly, but I'm wondering if there is somewhere we could move now. We have 4 more years fixed at 2%.
