Hello,
We are thinking of a move to the country. It needs to be a communiting distance from west london (W4) maybe maximum 1 - 1/2 hours as the communte will only happen once/twice a week. My partner will stay working in west london and we as a family will live apart. He plans to travel back for long weekends.
We have two small children(2 & 3 Years) so the move is mainly for them. Good schools is an absolute priority. Primary into secondary schools - the options where we currently live are not great unless we go private. So we are looking at alternatives.
I don't think I want to be too isolated but I could live in a village. Sports facilities is a must. Being near or within communte of an athletics track would be an added bonus.
In terms of house, we want to just be able to afford a 3 bedroom house for around £400k (the price of a flat here!)
When would you suggest a move? before starting primary? after - before secondary?
So do you have any suggestions??
