Hi All,
I need some advice regarding relocating to Cheltenham. My DC is in top 150 for Pate's and we are thinking to shift near Pate's. Currently we are living outside of Gloucester.
We have no idea about Cheltenham. If you guys can suggest good locations near Pate's to shift then it would be great help.
Thank you
Congratulations!
As has been noted, the immediate area around the school is not ideal, but you don't need to go too far away to get something nice - though the prices can get very high quite quickly.
There is the newer estate over the other side of GCHQ that has some quite big houses e.g.
https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/72767211#/ (which sort of show the prices that you can easily start getting into)
BUT - the thing to watch out for in that area is the plan to build the "cyber park" on the fields just beyond there which is going to really mess the traffic up (assuming it get's built).
You then have the St Mark's area the other way - and towards the rail station (if that is a consideration) - they tend to be older houses, but as a result probably have bigger gardens as usual.
The "other side of the A40" brings in Benhall, and then Up Hatherley - again you can get some pretty expensive things appearing if you browse Rightmove - e.g.
https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/75222744#/ (note that house sold in less than3 weeks, which indicates what can happen at the moment)
As has been noted, it you are happy to be a bit further away then Churchdown or Shurdington might be an option.
There's a lot of choice - I think my main comment would be - going "the other side of the town centre" or out towards Bishops Cleeve or Prestbury might not be ideal as the traffic getting across town to the school in a morning could be a bit of a nightmare.
Hope that helps.
