Our clients tell us that they will be sad to move on from their home of 18 years. “Duxhurst Cottage has been more than a home; It is a haven and a sanctuary for our children who have grown up here, immersed in nature and surrounded by wildlife. Magical nights sitting out under the stars, Campfires, Dens, Tent Parties, Easter Egg Hunts, Halloween Parties, building snowmen, Christmas Parties; Duxhurst Cottage has welcomed family, friends, and strangers, all commenting on the tranquility and peace they experience whilst visiting. Duxhurst Lane is a friendly community, sociable and yet non- intrusive. We have made dear friends, who have become more like family, something we did not expect when moving here in the Summer of 2006. There is something magical about this place, which has shaped our lives and how our children are. We feel blessed to have had the privilege of living here and hope that the next residents feel the same.”
