Hi all,
So we currently live in Swinton (Salford) in a rented house. I work in Stockport, the misses in Sale. We're in a position to begin looking for a house but struggling to find the right location. Budget is £150k, 3 beds minimum, some sort of garden, ideally a garage or room for a decent sized shed.
The one thing we both want is the opportunity to leave our front door and go for a walk or get out on bikes. We want something rural. Currently, I have to put the bike rack on the car, load the bikes then drive 30 minutes to Rivington Pike. I know its not a massive chore but having something on the doorstep would be far more inspiring. I'm not asking for the rolling hills of the Lakes, just something, anything!
Realistically, we won't be in the same jobs for the rest of our lives, but in the meantime it has to be commutable and changing jobs before getting the mortgage isn't an option. Consequently, we're very flexible when it comes to the location.
Any suggestions?
Cheers.
