New Build Projects

The summer of 2010 saw the start of 2 new building projects.

We are very excited to announce that Stone House’s new extension is nearing completion.

The eight en-suite bedrooms and lovely sitting area with views over the impressive grounds and the Chiltern Hills is already attracting a lot of attention.

The extension is now ready to view so please do give us a visit. The first residents will be able to move into their luxury rooms from April 7th 2011.

Merryfield House, our beautiful Cotswold home is also able to announce the completion of a new lounge and a beautifully re-furbished dining room.

The residents enjoyed their first lunch sitting in plush surroundings so much, they didn’t want to leave, and so had a sing song instead!

With the new lounge, the dining area and fully refurbished environment, Merryfield is proud to judge itself to be the best Care Home in the area.
