Property description
Foxley is an ancient village mentioned in the Domesday Book. The church, St Thomas, has late Saxon - early Norman origins. The name Foxley is from old English fox-leah. A leah is a clearing in or around a wood. Foxley Wood is the largest remaining piece of woodland left in Norfolk and it can be seen from space on Google Earth. The show of bluebells in April/May is truly amazing and rightly world famous. The modern village of Foxley is cut in two by the Fakenham to Norwich road so it is ideally located for access to the towns of Fakenham, Dereham and the city of Norwich with its rail link to London International Airport. There is a modern village hall with a bar license which holds regular community events. Foxley is approximately 5.5 miles from Reepham and is in the catchment area for Reepham school. Available immediately.
