    So an IT worker, working along the M4 corridor, mostly working in and around Reading. 2 kids one primary and one secondary.
    Want a 3 bed semi with garage and drive, guaranteed catchment area access to an ofsted rated one (or two at a push if absolutely essential but no worse) primary and secondary school. Want to live within walking distance to a train station.
    Within commuting distance (say an hour by car) of such jobs, and meeting these requirements, where is the cheapest place to live? Or selection of the cheapest places?
    Any ideas?
    Cheers
    Westbury, Wiltshire.

    You'd get a nice charcter detached property for the price of your semi in Berkshire.

    Get the train to reading @ 1 hour.
