We left London and settled in Kendal about two years ago. Long-standing Lib Dem area that's super friendly. Punches well above its weight for arts / beers / coffee, although glaringly lacking in cultural diversity... We got a detached two-bed with a nice garden and a detached garage for about 60k under your budget, so imagine you'd find something.
It's 30 minutes to the depths of Langdale in the Lake District for (I think) some of the most beautiful countryside this poisoned isle has to offer. Bike riding obvz goes without saying, and buses are surprisingly decent – but you might miss a car if you didn't have one. Very easy to get elsewhere, too (direct train from Oxenholme to LDN in about 2 hours 45 minutes, or 10 minute drive to the M6).

Ideally I want to live in a 4 bed house, with a utility room to hide the fucking laundry away, nice bike riding, a decent swimming club nearby, good dog walking, and not too car centric.
In the UK.
Where should I look?
Ideally, I want to be able to pay for it without killing anyone.
