Vendor Insight - Foxfield has been part of our family since 1980. 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 housea 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.
Outside, the grounds are equally breath-taking, with tranquil ponds, lakes, and a walled garden. The outdoor
spaces--complete with a BBQ area and firepit-- have been perfect for summer gatherings, all set against panoramic
views stretching across Cardiff, the Bristol Channel, and beyond.
The sunsets and sunrises here are magical, and the peace and privacy are unparalleled. True to its name, Foxfield
has been visited by foxes over the years, while neighbouring horses and sheep add to its rural charm. It offers the best
of both worlds: a serene haven just minutes from Cardiff's vibrant city life.
As we prepare to part with Foxfield, we carry with us countless memories of love, laughter, and family togetherness.
Whilst it's difficult to say goodbye, we hope the next family will find as much joy and fulfilment here as we have. This
home was designed to host, to celebrate, and to bring people together, and we would love to see it continue to be
filled with life and warmth
