SITUATION 
 
Dixcart Dower House is situated in a beautiful part of Sark, in a secluded valley close to the coast. The beach is easily accessible by path through the woods which are right behind the house. The area is quiet and there is no through road in the location. However, the amenities are only a 10 minute walk from the house. The area of Dixcart has always been a popular spot to explore for everyone.

Sark is located about nine miles east of Guernsey and twenty three miles north of Jersey with access only permissible by boat with regular ferries to Guernsey and Jersey where there are international airports.  Flight time to Gatwick is about forty five minutes by jet.

SARK Sark is spectacular in both its scenery and its simplicity; its tranquil beauty is unmarred by cars and yet enhanced by excellent modern facilities and telecommunications for residents and visitors alike. Sark is self-governing through ‘Chief Pleas’ and is presided over by the Seigneur. Transport on Sark is restricted to the horse and carriage, the bicycle and ‘shanks pony’. Tractors are, however, allowed by licence for general farm work, carting of goods from the harbour, and personal transport by arrangement. Everyday shopping facilities are available on Sark together with a selection of excellent hotels, restaurants and public houses. There are 2 churches, a school catering for children to the age of 15, a busy Island Hall where the strong sense of a lively community ensures many interesting social events are organised.

TAXATION Sark does not levy any income tax, property gains tax, capital gains tax, value-added-tax tax or inheritance tax on its residents. Other local taxes are very moderate.
