3 Description Foxwood is privately positioned behind a high timber fence with beech hedging. Once through the walled entrance gates, a sweeping tree lined avenue leads to the front of the house. The exterior is elegantly designed with wonderful proportions and the house was built entirely to compliment the contour of the site, thus 9 ft high ceilings at entry level and hall and steps to 11 ft high ceilings in the kitchen, drawing room and dining room. Every detail has been well thought through and the best of materials used. The windows are Marvin Architectural (with extra security locking); all the joinery is bespoke by Seabury Furniture; there is Kilkenny limestone flooring, Belgian smoked oak flooring, underfloor heating on the ground floor with thermostats in each room and concrete floors on the first floor. The most enjoyable part of the house is the sense of space which has been created by the high ceilings and the plentiful light pouring through the French doors. The simplicity of the layout creates versified space where the reception rooms work together, for both entertaining purposes and for everyday living. There are internal sliding recessed doors between the kitchen / drawing room / dining room ensuring the excellent flow. Foxwood extends to approx. 4.5 acres and the grounds are landscaped to accentuate the accommodation of the house but also to frame the house within its gardens. The separate detached studio extends to approx. 1,400 sq ft. and was cleverly designed so that it can adapt to what ones wants, be it a home office, gym, extra accommodation, games room etc. Location and Amenities Foxwood is in a superb location overlooking and with direct access to the Curragh Plains. A fantastic amenity to have on the doorstep, be it for walking, running, hacking amongst a range of activities. Having approx. 4,500 acres of common land within a minute of your home is a rarity.
