Greatest homes: Near schools

Make sure the school run doesn’t eat into your day – live next door!

We all know how important it can be to live in the right school catchment areas, making sure the children of today – and tomorrow – get the education they deserve, but it also makes life so much easier to have these educational establishments right on your doorstep. With school friends nearby to share afternoon care with, as well as shortening that last minute dash to the gates, proximity can mean everything to a busy, vibrant family household.
