We are looking to relocate to Derbyshire. I know the Peak District well as spent a lot of my childhood living there and I am familiar with the area surrounding Bakewell and towards Sheffield (calver / curbar etc).
But...I would like suggestions of other villages we could look at that tick the following boxes:
- good schooling (ideally not having to pay) so an outstanding or at least well regarded secondary is essential.
- green, open space, rural not busy
- amenities within a 10-15 min drive, happy to be pretty remote but need to drive to a shop obviously and schools
- not fussed about pubs etc
- pretty / attractive, good walks nearby
- opportunity to buy a large detached property (4+ bedroom) plus annexe or outbuildings for under 800k.
- commuting is not an issue but being within 20 min drive of a train line would be helpful
Does anyone have any suggestions of places to look that I might be less familiar with?
