Meadowsweet Place

Meadowsweet Place is a 'Retirement Living' development tailored for individuals over 60 years old, established in mid-2018 by the acclaimed developers McCarthy & Stone. The development boasts excellent communal facilities, including a beautiful homeowners lounge that opens to the landscaped gardens, fostering a vibrant social scene with events such as weekly coffee mornings, film nights, quizzes, and seasonal gatherings. Participation in these activities is entirely optional, allowing homeowners to engage as much or as little as they prefer, with privacy being a respected choice. Additionally, all floors are accessible via a lift.

The Local Area

Situated conveniently, Meadowsweet Place is less than half a mile from both Waitrose and Sainsbury's supermarkets. The nearby shopping parade features a Boots pharmacy and several banks, complemented by a variety of coffee shops, pubs, and eateries like Henrys of Melksham, Cafe Lounge, and The Art Cafe. The local public library and the nearest community hospital are both within half a mile. The town of Melksham comes to life every Tuesday with a market that offers household items and fresh local produce from nearby farms.

Melksham, a market town nestled along the beautiful River Avon, is encircled by the scenic countryside of rural Wiltshire.
