Hi all, my husband and I are thinking of moving to Stafford so we can commute to Birmingham for work. Saw a house in the Meadowcroft Park area near the football club that we really liked, but we are not sure about whether the area is nice. Any advice or thoughts on the area? Will it be noisy/rowdy near the football club? Have never lived near any sport facilities before (and we are not sporty people).
Our budget is about 180k, 200k max. We have no kids yet. We prefer to be in walking distance to some shops (doesn't have to be huge ones) and walking distance to parks/green spaces/canals(basically nice walking routes, if parks the bigger the better). We have a car so don't have to rely on the train. Don't mind rural locations -- but houses don't come up that often in the villages.
If anyone can let us know of any areas to avoid, or any areas to recommended, that would be superb! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
