Foxley Lodge, near Bawdeswell, was actually built in 1842 so is Victorian and offers fine sash windows, high ceilings, fireplaces, cornice work and a particularly impressive staircase which is top lit by a lantern.

But of particular note are its formal lawns and a door in one of the walls leads to a secret garden enclosed by old red brick walls.
