Hello me and my partner have just offered on a house in borough green. I know nothing of the area and wondered if someone could give me some insight? Thank you

No idea. Burrough Green is quite nice though! (I asked as spell check often replaces Burrough with Borough).

Borough green is lovely, 50 mins to Victoria on the train and near to sevenoaks which has great little shops, knowle park with the deer, great schools. I was born near Ightam Moat which is a great day out, lots of wildlife. Are you moving for work.

Aww thank you. That's good to know. Do you know about schools (primary) ? No not for work we live dartford way and just fancied a change of area . X

SchoolGuide.co.uk have the league tables, its a long time since I had anything to do with primary schools, sorry. Will you be driving to work, I don't think there are trains from borough green or sevenoaks to Dartford. For shopping there is a Tesco superstore in riverhead which is just before sevenoaks.

If you're on Facebook you should join Secenoaks women's forum (I'm assuming you're female) and ask on there. I don't know much about bg but sevenoaks district is lovely.

lovely, but not rural.....
Please don't think you're in the country now.

Erica91 · 29/07/2018 20:22

BG is nice but a bit nothingy. Not really rural and not really village. Kind of small town. Excellent for motorway links. Not far drive from some really lovely countryside. Schools okay, plenty of choice plus in Tonbridge grammar catchment.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 29/07/2018 20:28

Very busy for the motorway links.
