Dating back to the 16th century, Foxley House is a handsome Grade II listed country house sitting quietly on the edge of the pretty north Wiltshire village of Foxley, just a short distance from Malmesbury — recently named by The Sunday Times as the best place to live in the Southwest of England.
Offered to let on a long-term basis from September, this is an exceptional and rarely available rental opportunity. The house sits within glorious grounds of approximately 8.87 acres, encompassing formal gardens, swimming pool and tennis court. Paddocks and stables are available by separate negotiation.
INSIDE THE HOUSE
Step inside Foxley House and the quality and scale of this beautiful home immediately impresses. The principal rooms are generous and full of period character — think high ceilings, sash windows and elegant fireplaces — while a long private driveway ensures the house feels genuinely tucked away from the outside world.
The reception hall sets the tone, leading through to a formal drawing room, sitting room and dining room. The newly installed kitchen and breakfast room sits at the heart of daily life, centred around an oil-fired Everhot range cooker with plenty of space for informal dining, and a utility room and rear access conveniently positioned nearby. Seven bedrooms are spread across the upper two floors, headlined by a particularly impressive principal suite with its own bathroom and dressing room. The remaining bedrooms are well-sized and look out over the gardens and grounds, served by two family bathrooms and one ensuite on the second floor.
The property comes to the market having had extensive renovation throughout.
OUTBUILDINGS AND GARDENS
The grounds at Foxley House are a real highlight. Extending to around 8.87 acres, they have been thoughtfully maintained, with formal landscaped gardens, a tranquil pond and a wonderful mix of mature trees and herbaceous borders that shift beautifully through the seasons.
Those with horses will find the setup particularly appealing, with good paddocks, stabling, kennels and a secure yard available under separate negotiation. For leisure, the walled swimming pool and pool house make for a superb summer setting, and the tennis court adds yet another dimension to what is on offer. A sweeping gravel driveway leads to the house and provides generous parking, alongside a collection of traditional outbuildings and garaging — practical, characterful and very much in keeping with a property of this nature.
LOCATION
The village of Foxley sits quietly in the gently rolling north Wiltshire countryside, conveniently positioned between Malmesbury and Chippenham — characterful, peaceful and with a network of footpaths and bridleways on the doorstep. The nearby village of Sherston offers everyday essentials including a shop, post office, café, pub and doctors surgery, while the elegant market towns of Tetbury and Malmesbury are both just 10-15 minutes away. The area is rich in notable landmarks, among them the Badminton Estate, home of the world-renowned Badminton Horse Trials, King Charles's Highgrove estate, and the magnificent Westonbirt Arboretum.
Bath, Bristol, Swindon and Cheltenham are all within comfortable reach, and for those commuting further afield, mainline rail services to London Paddington (around 70 minutes) are available from both Chippenham and Kemble. The area is also well served by a strong selection of state and independent schools, making it a particularly popular choice for families.
