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.
