The Great Outdoors

Foxhall Lodge Farm is brilliantly positioned at the centre of its almost 26 acres of grounds, forming something of a small private estate with smallholding capabilities. The estate unfolds into rolling parkland from the driveway, with open fields on either side, leading down to a picturesque Mill River and a spring-fed lake to the north of the grounds.

The surrounding landscape includes nine acres of mature woodland, filled with bluebells in springtime, with the trees predominantly oak, chestnut, and sycamore, with a wonderful private pathway that meanders along the curtilage.

A hard tennis court and a productive kitchen garden with a Rhino greenhouse further enhance the grounds; the latter also provides flowers for cutting, along with many vegetables and fruits for the house and includes a small orchard with lots of fruit trees. A fenced paddock is also positioned to the west of the land.

The formal gardens closest to the house feature a sunken garden, with well-stocked shrub and herbaceous borders. The south-facing terrace, accessible from both the drawing room and the kitchen, provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and summer entertaining. There is also a vast natural swimming pond between the house and the woodland, fed by the natural spring, and a further spacious seating terrace opens from the lower ground floor’s informal sitting room.

Foxhall Lodge Farm also has a range of useful outbuildings to the south of the grounds, including a storage barn, an open cart lodge, and a large modern timber-framed barn with weatherboarded elevations and double sliding doors, ideal for a variety of uses, including large parties. The outbuildings also include a barn, complete with a lean-to and ample space for additional storage or garaging.

are excellent independent schools, while outstanding state schools include Thomas Mills High School and Farlingaye High School.
