Summary - The Old Forge, Mill Road, Foxley NR20 4QT
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Detached village home with secluded garden and garage.
Three-bedroom detached cottage with generous overall size
Set on Mill Road in peaceful Foxley, The Old Forge is a spacious three-bedroom detached home arranged over two floors. The ground floor offers flexible living with a living room featuring a wood burner, an adjacent sitting room opening to the garden, a fitted kitchen, separate utility and a main bedroom with en-suite — useful for multi-generational living or ground-floor sleeping needs. Upstairs are two further bedrooms and a bright bathroom with a skylight.
Outside, the property sits on a decent plot with a secluded, landscaped garden and patio for outdoor entertaining. Off-road parking is provided by a driveway and a single garage (approx. 17'4" x 9'7"). The house retains cottage-style character (dormer windows, beamed ceilings and brick fireplace) and is double glazed.
Practical points to note: heating is by an oil-fired boiler and the house is of solid brick construction from the 1930s–40s with no known cavity insulation, which may mean higher running costs or scope for upgrading. Broadband speeds are reported as slow and there is a Tree Preservation Order on the large oak at the front — important if you plan changes to the front garden or access.
This home suits buyers looking for a roomy village property with character and garden privacy, and for those prepared to invest in energy improvements or modernisation to reduce running costs. Its location close to Bawdeswell and Reepham gives access to good schools and local amenities while retaining a quiet, semi-rural feel.
