We fell in love with the Old School House the moment we first viewed it - it felt like a warm hug. Loxton has a wonderfully welcoming community with an active village WhatsApp group and regular events such as Friday evening drinks on the first Friday of the month, rounders in the summer, carols in the barn and village film nights. The Frankie Howerd caf has also become a lovely local hub and we understand plans are developing for a small community shop there. It has been a very special place to live and we will be sad to leave, but we are hoping to spend the next few years indulging our passion for travel.
