Croxley Green – A Place I’m Proud to Call Home

As a Sales Manager at Hill Group, I’ve had the privilege of working on many incredible developments across our Eastern region. But Millside Grange in Croxley Green, Rickmansworth is one that truly holds a special place in my heart – not only because it’s a beautifully designed neighbourhood of 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes, but because it’s in the very village I’ve called home for over 10 years.

When my family and I moved to Croxley Green from nearby Watford, it was with one clear goal – to give our children the best environment to grow up in. And Croxley has delivered that in every way possible.

Why Croxley Green is Such a Wonderful Place to Live

Croxley is more than just a village – it’s a community. From the moment we moved here, I’ve always felt it’s a safe, welcoming place to raise children. The local primary schools are among the best in the area, and as my children prepare for senior school, we’re spoiled for choice with outstanding schools nearby.

The village is alive with opportunities for young people too – from football teams and dance schools to clubs and community events. My two have thrived here, and as a parent, that’s everything I could have wished for.

There are at least three parks with play areas, football pitches and picnic area within Croxley (plus one right in the Millside Grange development itself), which is perfect for family time. And with our dog Sophie, we love the fantastic walks right on our doorstep – whether it’s through the magical bluebells at Whippendell Woods off Little Green Lane in spring, or around the lakes at Rickmansworth Aquadrome, complete with its popular café.

And then, of course, there’s Cassiobury Park, with its paddling pools, canal walks, and open green spaces. The Green in Croxley itself – home to long-standing community favourites like The Revels, Croxfest, and the Croxley Classic Car Show. Add in the local pubs (some family-friendly with play areas, others with great menus), nearby golf clubs, and even luxury days out at The Grove Hotel, and it’s easy to see why this village is so special.

For commuters, Croxley is brilliantly connected – with the Metropolitan Line getting you into Baker Street in under 40 minutes. From Millside Grange, it’s just a 20-minute walk to Croxley Station, which makes London living easily accessible while still enjoying a countryside lifestyle.

The Vision Behind Millside Grange

What makes Millside Grange so unique is how it blends seamlessly into it’s setting. As a Hill development, every detail has been thoughtfully considered – from the traditional yet modern architecture to the spacious layout of the streets and gardens.

It’s a development with real kerb appeal. The homes are designed with bricks that complement the local character of Croxley, while offering all the luxury and modern finishes today’s buyers are looking for. What I love most is that it feels open and welcoming – never cramped – with space for families, couples, and individuals to feel at home.

Millside Grange also has a great community feel already. With 75% of homes now sold, our buyers here range from first-time buyers starting their journey, to growing families, and even downsizers looking for a more manageable home while staying close to everything they love.

A Home for Everyone

Whether you’re looking for your first home, a family house with room to grow, or a place to downsize without compromise, Millside Grange has something to offer. For me, what makes it truly special is that it reflects the very best of Croxley Green living – a safe, friendly, and thriving village with everything you need on your doorstep, plus homes that balance timeless design with modern living.

It’s an exclusive place to live, but one that remains part of the fabric of the village community I’m so proud to be a part of.
