My husband and I are in our mid thirties. We've recently had a baby boy who is 6 months old.
Currently living in New Malden in a 2 bed maisonette flat.
We're looking for our next area to move to where we will hopefully stay for a long time.
Things we are looking for, our budget is max £750k
- Good state schools - primary and secondary
- Commutable into London Waterloo for husband's job, but preferably not within London as we want more space
- Ideally a hospital (preferably teaching but not hugely important) nearby although willing to drive to this - I am a cancer nurse.
- 3 / 4 bed with a garden, ideally with some grass so medium sized
- Good amenities for young families - swimming pool / cinema / leisure centre etc
We've so far looked at Epsom, but prices for space seem massive around there. We also prefer the idea of our baby eventually going to a mixed sex secondary, but the best secondaries around Epsom are single sex. Also concerned that Epsom will still feel too London-y in a few years' time.
Weybridge is out of our price range unfortunately.
We have friends and some family around Teddington but it is also out of our price range.
Are there any areas we're missing that we should look at?
Thanks in advance!
