Owner's perspective - "We moved to Derbyshire from London to be closer to our daughter and grandchildren. We fell in love with Meadow House because it is very spacious, has beautiful views and gave us the countryside feel with good road access to local amenities all year round.
We particularly enjoyed the space as for a long time we had our daughter and grandchildren living with us whilst they completed an extension and renovation project so it was a happy noisy home for a long while! We will miss the beautiful roses and sitting on the patio with a glass of wine in the sun, but as it’s only the two of us now feel that we need to downsize. I am a retired architect and had intended to build our next home on the second garden, however we have decided it’s time to truly retire and have found a nice new build to move to instead. We hope whoever buys Meadow House enjoys it as much as we did, it’s a truly special place."
