Moving out of town when I don't drive?

[6784F]

I am a first time buyer, and have found a lovely flat in a housing development built 5 minutes drive from the town centre. It's surrounded by lots of countryside with the town just 5 minutes drive away. There are no local shops (like a Co Op) in walking distance.

I don't drive, so to get into town or to the nearest supermarket I would have a 10 minute walk to the bus station, and then a 5 minute bus ride. Does that sound feasible or too impractical? I would order my food shop online.

No, I wouldn’t. I can’t drive for medical reasons. I spent a year living somewhere I couldn’t walk to any shops. It was only a 5-minute walk to the bus stop but it still drove me up the wall not being able to do anything quickly like go to the post office.

Would be a no from me. Even with driving I would like the option of walking to the local station so being as isolated as you won't do it for me
