And if you don't mind a split level flat rather than a house you can live in Hertfordshire:

The trouble is defining an hour...... but, let's say it's 30 miles. There are over 500 within 30 miles of Cambridge. Reduce it to 10 miles and there's 0. At 15 miles there's about 8.... and they're not great areas.
There are 0 houses within 15 miles of where I am now that meet the criteria, There are 5 that are 20 miles from me (in another county).0 -
In York itself, but I'm guessing there's better to be had within an hour of York.

Thanks PN.
I suppose one hour depends on the local transport links. 30 miles would be safe almost anywhere. If it's near a good dual carriageway/motorway in Scotland or even the North of England, it could be 50-60 miles.
Could you post a couple of links to the 30 mile ones in Cambridge that look decent for a young couple with kids, for example?“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Still, I'd rather be on the inside looking out...Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

You lovely folks from down south may need to help me out a bit here, as I have no idea where is half decent near most of that list.
