“Foxley is a village and in the English county of Norfolk”

Luxury in an Ideal Location The current owner purchased Mill House in 2009, drawn to it by the amount of space the property offers and its fantastic location. “It was also so peaceful and quiet,” they said. The impressive brick-built mill tower really sets the property apart; originally a wheat mill, it is understood to date from 1845 but the sails were removed at some point in its history when it fell out of use. It offers a storeroom on the ground floor and one first floor room. “This would make an ideal project (subject to planning permission) for someone who could turn it in to self-catering accommodation,” the owner remarked.

Following after the mill tower in terms of striking first impressions is the heated swimming pool, enclosed on three sides by the property itself with the tower on the fourth. This sheltered courtyard area is a wonderful sun trap and perfect for relaxing or entertaining. “We have had so many parties and barbecues in the summer months,” the owner said, “with lots of children using the heated outdoor pool and having loads of fun.”

Then, of course, there is the property itself, a 1970s single-storey dwelling which boasts four bedrooms, of which the master bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, and a fifth room which is currently used as a study but could also serve as a bedroom. With vaulted ceilings the rooms throughout the house are “Foxley is Norfolk’s largest remaining ancient woodland, Tawny owls are resident, and barn owls occasionally all generously proportioned and include a spacious hunt along the wood’s wide rides. Birds of prey include sparrowhawk and kestrel, with rarer visitors including hobby and sitting room with a mezzanine level, an equally spacious common buzzard.”

kitchen/dining room, and also a snug. “The nicest room in the house is the sitting room, with lovely views of the courtyard and swimming pool,” the owner said. “You also get the benefit that the sun shines straight into it in the morning which is nice.” Their next favourite room is the snug in which there’s a pool table. “My grandchildren were always in there playing pool, with lots of laughter and wonderful family times.”

Land Aplenty Outside there is a stable block, a tennis court and lawned gardens, with established planting including shrubs and various mature trees. “We have lots of wildlife in our garden with rabbits, partridges, pheasants, bird, foxes and the occasional wild deer,” the owner said. Two gated drives lead into Mill House, and there is ample parking and a double garage.

Surroundings “Whilst the area is quiet, we do have a fantastic bus route to and Fakenham.” The owner also relies on a local shop in nearby for everyday groceries and supplies, and also mentioned the garden centre with restaurant also located there. “There is also a small pub called the Old Workhouse Bar in Bawdeswell close to the shop which is very quaint and great for socialising.” In respect to local schools, a primary school and pre-school can be found in Bawdeswell, and the property also lies within the catchment area for the highly respected Reepham High School and college, with an excellent with free bus service from Foxley.

“My grandchildren were always swimming in the pool, with lots of laughter and wonderful family times.”
