Muzzle Patch is a small development of 24 split-level bungalows in Tibberton. Built in the 1970s, they were designed to have a low impact on the landscape. They are very spacious inside, open-plan, with many having pine ceilings throughout. They were built to be light and airy.
 
The land is a private estate in that the roads and paths have not been 'adopted'. The residents have a management company to look after the site. This is called Muzzle Patch Managers Ltd.
The Company Secretary is Mrs Joy King, at 2 Muzzle Patch.

The residents enjoy a large 'amenity' field - an attractive area with mature oak trees, other trees, including apple and plum trees. Native daffodils, bluebells and snowdrops have been planted under the trees. An owl box is sited in the stand of oaks, and residents are keen to support the wild-life of the area.

'Muzzle' is the local name for teasel. Apparently, these were once grown commercially in Tibberton, and used in the wool trade. There are only a few growing in the hedgerows these days...
