I live near Tunbridge Wells, a village I know well is East Peckham. Other than that if you really want to live in the countryside try: Cranbrook, Sissinghurst, Biddenden, Staplehurst, Bearsted, Harrietsham, East Farleigh, Hunton... All very pretty and set in typical Kentish countryside: think oast houses, greens, cottages... Other advantages of living in Kent is the close proximity to London and France, shops and other essential amenities. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much. I've been trying to look East Peckham up on the Internet and it's not very clear where to go for the best information. I like the idea of coming full circle back to where it all began (at least on one side of the family). I also like the idea of being close to London and France. That would be great. Don't have many other "wants" but I think it would be nice if we could find a town and a house on a stream. My husband loves fishing. I'll also try looking at the other towns you suggested. So many folks have suggested so many places that I think I will have to get a map of England and narrow it all down.
Aussiegal...it's going to come down to money to be honest. Being a real estate agent I'm sure you appreciate that prices swing wildly even in a pretty small country like the UK. Generally the south is much more expensive than the North with a few exceptions (cheshire villages between manchester and Liverpool (north West) are known for millionaires) and the golden triangle of (leeds -harrogate and York (north East) where again property prices are much higher due to scenary and travel links).

There is a river in East Peckham so fishing may be an option. You may not be able to find that much information on East Peckham as it is a small village. If you want to be near a river then Yalding is another option, but beware this village has flooded quite badly several times! Hope you find somewhere!
