Where's best to move too??

I know there will be different opinions on this but I'm just looking for a bit of an idea.

We are looking to move from Manchester to anywhere really, Preferably nearer Cornwall as thats where DP works, but a commute doesn't bother him as he's been staying/working down there 5 days a week for quite a few years.

We want somewhere with 4 beds, detached and preferably not "too" close to neighboring houses. Like I say we are total open to area as it's completely new to me. I would like there to be good schools nearby for the kids and nearby to hospital thats my only things I need to be near.

Any help as to a nice area??

    That's a big ask - depends on your budget, whereabouts in Cornwall your DP works (it's a long county!), and what "level" of hospital you need to be near (main ones being Truro in Cornwall, or Plymouth or Torquay over the border in Devon).

    I grew up in the far south west of Cornwall, very idyllic but a long way to anywhere. You may want to consider how far you will end up away from family etc.

    Thank you for your reply as for price pref under £400k otherwise we'd have to look into a mortgage not too much of a problem if its over but like I say we'd prefer not. He works in Penzance but like I say traveling doesn't really matter because he doesn't mind. We just want somewhere nice and "quiet". As for hospital I'm on cancer treatment now, but hopefully not when we move so just a hospital close enough iykwim?
