Re-location

[crapmemory]

Might need to move soon due to OH relocating. Anyone living in or nearby Peterborough or surrounding areas? Any info on where to live would be much appreciated. Not bothered about schools as no school age children. TIA

Ask Barmaid....she lives on the outskirts of Peterborough.

[ummmm]

I don't think Salla is too far away either...

My BF lives in Peterborough, I live 45 miles away but know the City quite well. Barmaid & my BF actually live very very close to each other - it's a small world !!

The surrounding area of Peterborough is very nice - Oundle and Elton particularly. Don't think of relocating to the City Centre itself - keep to the outskirts & you'll be better.

Must also mention Fotheringhay, Marholm & Stamford which are nearby and very pretty. Depends on how much you want to part with on mortgage, rent etc. The nicest areas are, obviously, the most expensive.

Helpston is also nice and has a "doggin meeting" at regular intervals.

Thank you Salla, your answer was the most sensible and helpful one!

Market Deeping & Deeping St. James are two very nice places to live. They are about eight miles north of Peterborough, just over the county border in Lincolnshire. There is a mix of period houses and new estates in both of these large villages. The 'locals' are welcoming & the facilities good. Community charges in Lincolnshire are slightly cheaper than in Cambridgeshire.

As a previous poster has said, Oundle & Elton are nice but housing is more expensive. Stamford, too, is a good place to live but more expensive than the two Deepings.

Why not pay a visit and have a look? The locals will be pleased to see you.
