In 1999, the current house was constructed, a labour of love and a true passion project. As a family involved in property development, this project held special significance, blending our personal ambition with professional expertise. Proudly rooted in Welsh heritage, the family worked with a Welsh architect and prioritised using local materials and craftsmen, making the construction of Foxfield a tribute to our cultural pride. Spanning three years, the build was a monumental undertaking, yet the result was a home that, despite its grandeur, remains warm and inviting. The house itself spans four levels, including an ingenious undercroft garage and a bespoke roof space using glulam beams to create a wonderful space including a fully functioning kitchen and bar. The lift services all floors in the house. It's a perfect retreat, whether for relaxation or celebration. The family's meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout, with every aspect of the property maintained to the highest standard. The kitchen has always been the heart of the house a place where Sunday lunches were a cherished tradition. One of the favourite rooms for the family is the cellar, beautifully designed to feel timeless. The formal dining room has hosted up to 16 for special occasions, creating unforgettable memories year after year. Talking of celebrations Foxfield has been a hub for family and friends. We created a space that grew alongside the family and became a venue for countless joyous occasions milestone birthdays, anniversaries and even NSPCC charity events. Visitors are always captivated by the stunning staircase, a centrepiece that never ceases to amaze, even after 20 years, it still takes one's breath away. The property's design allows natural light to fill every corner, enhanced by thoughtful elements like the skylight above the staircase.

The dining room opens into the magnificent oak-framed garden room, which boasts a curved glass window framing the front lawn and walled garden. A stone staircase with bespoke cast iron railings leads down to the lower ground floor, where a vast former dairy has been converted into a state-of-the-art family room. Natural light floods through a window at the far end, overlooking the original stone external steps. This highly versatile space has served as a photography studio, office, games room, and could easily become a yoga or dance studio, cinema room, gym, therapy rooms, or art studio, the possibilities are endless. Accessible from both the garden room and rear hallway, it is seamlessly connected to the rest of the house. Upstairs, a Velux-style window floods the first-floor landing with light, leading to three double bedrooms, each featuring period details, and a fourth bedroom currently used as a dressing room. The family bathroom offers a modern suite, while stunning views stretch across the gardens and neighbouring countryside. Laurel Cottage The Annexe, affectionately known as Laurel Cottage, is self-contained and offers a cosy sitting room with its own wood-burning stove, a kitchen fitted with cream units and integrated appliances, and a ground-floor bathroom with a white suite. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, one enjoying a frontaspect view and the other boasting delightful distant views across the countryside. Laurel Cottage also benefits from its own garden to the rear. Accessed via a driveway that leads around to the rear, the property offers ample parking for several vehicles and direct access to a garage attached to the main house. Opposite the garage are three stables and a wood shed. The rear gardens are thoughtfully designed to attract birds and wildlife, featuring a rich variety of herbs, plants, and flowers, including lavender, daisies, wisteria, bay trees, and jasmine. A particularly striking feature is the remains of an old Roman forge, complete with its original well, providing a charming setting for summer dining and entertaining. Beyond the forge lies an orchard, carefully protected for its rare Gloucestershire tree varieties, comprising around 28 trees, including plum, Chaxhill Red, and cooking apples. The partly walled front garden features lush lawns with rowan, plum, and cherry trees, alongside a miniature English oak and eucalyptus. Both front and rear gardens offer wonderful spaces to enjoy the sun throughout the day, making them perfect for relaxation and outdoor living. W3W: winemaker.undivided.adopt Vendor Insight - I was immediately captivated by The Rowans and its charming exterior and knew it was to be the family home I had been searching for. It was also an exciting renovation project and within commuting distance from Bristol for work. The house and the two bed annexe were in need of some care and attention and I have sympathetically upgraded them throughout. Work included plastering all rooms, rewiring, relaying floors, modernising the kitchen and bathroom and opening two original, bricked up, fireplaces. The real developments were the conversion of the small adjoining barn into the dining room, a fabulous sunroom and the creation of a massive, waterproofed and heated basement room. I love all the rooms, but am very proud of the stunning, curved, oak framed sunroom; that is always flooded with light and has pretty views to the garden: it is the ideal spot to settle and relax with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. The kitchen is where we spend most of our time and perfect for the passionate cook but also the place for family kitchen meals, plus the welcoming snug corner with a large sofa and wood burner for times when you want to relax with a coffee. Upstairs two bedrooms have large dormer windows where you look across the countryside to the Malverns and May Hill. Each room has a delightful mix of warmth, comfort and sophistication. The Rowans is a hospitable home where our guests can appreciate the elegance of the dining room, the warm and cosy sitting room with its huge fireplace and intriguing, original window that looks through to the kitchen; whilst the basement is the perfect games and party room. There have been many happy events when friends and family gathered in the house and garden. The wildlife garden is a glorious celebration of nature, with a twenty-eight tree orchard, and mature, colourful borders. It is a haven for wildlife with sightings of hedgehogs, rabbits, woodpeckers, jays and buzzards. In the back garden there are the remains of a Roman-era forge and well, hinting at the site's ancient past. Separately, in the front garden a charming wisteria-covered walkway welcomes you, and in summer becomes a magical tunnel, the perfect setting for alfresco meals. The garden really has become an outside living room, enjoyed many summers as a haven of peace and natural beauty. We are so lucky to be just a few minutes' walk to the local garage and grocery store, or to the Severn and Wye Smokery with its food hall, coffee shop, restaurant and fishmonger. Westbury on Severn and Newnham on Severn are very short drives, and Gloucester is just over eight miles away, surrounded by the beautiful Severn Valley and Malvern Hills. The house has given me twenty-one happy years but is now too big and the time has come to downsize. The Rowans can now welcome another family to take over and look after it for the next twenty years.

Historic Significance In 1410 the Annuellars' College, home to the Cathedral's chantry priests, originally occupied this site. After the 1530's Reformation the property came into private ownership and was completely remodelled in 1596 as the city's Custom House, which included the addition of the Royal Coat of Arms which is still in place today on the front of the property. 1726 saw the building begin a new chapter as a coffee house, thought by some historians to have been among the earliest of its kind in Britain, taking the name Mol’s after its first proprietor, Mary Wildly. Remarkably, for more than a century after that, the coffee house was run exclusively by women throughout its life until its closure in 1829, securing its place in the rich social history of Exeter. The property retains many of its original features, offering a rare glimpse into the architecture of the era. A Truly Unique Property Properties of this heritage and character rarely come to market. Mol’s House represents not simply a home, but a piece of Exeter’s living history. This is an extraordinary opportunity for those who appreciate architecture, storytelling, and the preservation of historic buildings. Services: Mains electricity, water and drainage.
