Looking to move next year somewhere in Worcs/Gloucs/Somerset which in near a train station, good public transport preferably and with facilities nearby. Proximity to Birmingham and Surrey, around two hours travel from each by car or train. I want to live somewhere with a rural feel, but close enough to a decent hospital, shops etc so not too isolated. Looking for a quirky feel, independent shops, low crime, friendly people with a good community. I have never been to Frome or Wells, know Bath quite well and love the area but don't want to live in Bath itself. I know Stroud and surrounding areas well, but don't want to live in Stroud itself.
Budget is up to £800,000 for a three bed detached house. I have visions of living with no close neighbours, the sound of birdsong and church bells but maybe I'm being naive.
