I want to live in a big house, close to work, with a big garden, backing on to fields, with clean air, 5 minutes from a train station, close to the airports, motorways in a picturesque village with great pubs, good schools and a Michelin 2 star restaurant it has to be quiet and secluded, oh and if possible a sea view!
In an ideal world we could live in such a place that could fit our dream criteria. However sometimes we have to make small compromises. However it is still possible to live within close proximity to a major city and find the country life in the city.
There is a great book called A guide to Commuterland published by The Sunday Telegraph which helps gives you an idea of where you can live closer to London in the south east.
