OWNERS INSIGHT

"My aunt and uncle were very happy at Meadhurst. They valued its quiet location which nevertheless gave them ready access to a GP surgery at the end of the street, and many shops and restaurants within an easy stroll. The garden gave them great pleasure and Jane would always fed the birds and squirrels. Ray made good use of the workshop next to the garage and the greenhouse. I feel sure it will be a happy home again."
