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.
