The current owners experience at Parkwood Meadow Drive…

“Parkwood is so peaceful, as soon as you enter the house a stillness and calm overcomes you.

The wildlife makes you smile every day, with passing herons, swans, geese, ducks, moorhens and more.

The Mulberry kitchen was designed by Jenny Crisp who thought everything through very carefully so it’s a great place to cook and entertain. The sunroom overlooking the garden brings the outdoors in whatever the weather. The principal bedroom has a balcony overlooking the garden and river, great for a morning cuppa.

It’s an absolute joy to live here.”
