About Maisemore Gardens

Built in the early nineteen sixties Maisemore Gardens  was an innovative development with its central green, own private dinghy park and slipway onto the harbour. The houses  where built to four basic designs: Type 'A' 4-bedroomed detached house with two integral garages , Type 'C' 4-bedroomed house with integral garage , Type, 'B' 3-bedroomed house with integral garage , Type 'E' 3-bedroomed house with separate garage. The houses were sold with 999 year lease by Maisemore Gardens Ltd (MGL).

On purchasing the lease to a property in Maisemore Gardens the lease holder automatically becomes a member of MGL which manages the estate.  Members elect the Council of Management from amongst themselves at each AGM and then become directors of MGL for their period of office.

The name Maisemore is thought to be of Welsh origin, meaning "great field" (Welsh: maes mawr) and the street name is unique there being no other in the UK.
