OWNERS INSIGHT

"We have lived in Meyrick Road for 16 years and love it. However, it’s the right time to move on and we will be sad to say goodbye to this beautiful home. The road is quiet, on the level, and we have friendly & helpful neighbours making this a great place to live with nearby parks, and easy access to shops, schools and Churches with buses to Teignmouth and Brixham. The house itself is an ideal family home, spacious with off road parking for 3/4 cars and a southerly facing back garden has been perfect for large get-togethers with family and friends."
