Location
Surrounded by open countryside and yet ideally suited for easy commuting, Fairfield Meadows is a wonderful place to make your new home.
Fairfield Meadows sits alongside the original Fairfield Park development, surrounded by stunning parkland and the grounds of the old Fairfield Hospital which closed in 1999.
Amenities in the Parish of Fairfield include a community centre, Fairfield Bowls Club, Bannatyne’s health club and spa, The Orchard restaurant, a number of children’s play areas, hairdressers and a Tesco Express. In nearby Stotfold, further amenities can be found such as a supermarket, pubs and restaurants and a football club.
Head over to Stotfold Watermill and Nature Reserve for a relaxing stroll, or visit Standalone Farm for a perfect day out with the family. Just 10 minutes away is Letchworth, the world’s first Garden City. Here you will find a wealth of amenities, shopping, bars, restaurants and a Broadway cinema.
Fairfield Park Lower School is situated adjacent to the site, located within a few minutes’ walk of Fairfield Meadows and rated “Outstanding” by Ofsted. The school offers a Nursery provision from 3 years of age and full school care from 8am to 6pm wrapped around the school day.
There are two nearby secondary schools, Eatonbury Academy and Pix Brook which opened in 2019. There is also St Christophers School in Letchworth, a co-ed independent school and St Francis College, a day and boarding school for girls.
