Yeah being somewhere that has its own nice little high street in walking distance would be ideal, the difficulty is my other half works long hours, usually finishing at 7 or 7.30 so if we moved out to somewhere a bit more suburban like Uxbridge or Epsom then the commute would be too long and she'd be getting home real late every day.

Surbiton, nice but a bit* pricey.. should an 18 min** train to Waterloo work for the other half.
*exceedingly
**nearly always a little delayed, apparently

You start like that, but then the constant going into London on the train gets a bit taxing so you either venture out of the house in the local area or just stay at home which ends up making life a bit shit.
Plus, it sounds like eventually, maybe after a few years, you're planning on having a kid. When that happens you definitely need local amenities and local entertainment.
It's not exactly a wasteland, there's plenty of places to eat, parks, loads of people and families, it's just so mediocre.
