I would have thought some of the really expensive places in Surrey would be ideal. Leafy and very expensive (no Chavs) and quick routes into London.
£700K will buy you a starter home for your family to grow in and school fees a very reasonable £20K a year.

Guildford. Half an hour to Waterloo, good schools, nice countryside around, pretty cobbled high street.
Sorted. |

Only if you choose to live in 'artcliff' or Knowle, try Clifton or Redland.
People in Bath speak with 'received pronunciation' don't you know, Bath also has very good schools.

From Guildford station.
Add on the commute to get to the station and general related faff of about 20-30 mins if you live in one of the outlying villages.
