• Family friendly with plenty of countryside/parks close by, and walking distance to train station would be ideal with a circa 1hr or less commute to city centre by Public Transport or bike (not even going to contemplate driving in every day).

    Thinking of train lines/times:

    Calderdale (Tod/Hebden) 190 would get you alot of house in Todmorden.
    Hope Valley / Chinley
    Romiley/Disley/Whalley/Chapel etc even Buxton?
    Poynton / Macclesfield
    Some bits of Bolton might be worth a look.

    Enjoy the search. V.diff to Devon. Would happily move there!

  • Thanks! Some of these probably look a bit far out. I reckon Glossop is about as far out of town as we'd want to go. Looking at the previous comments the Western suburbs (Old Trafford, Chorlton, Stretford etc) seem to be the popular places?

    It is very different, but we could do with a change and there's much more opportunities for the kids as they grow up in Manchester than there are in rural Devon!

    Popular but not sure your 190 will give you lots of options for 3 beds? Not as close to hilly countryside either, although mersey valley is a niceish "green corridor".
