Architecture20/20
Purpose-built Welsh commission completed in 1999; architect remains to verify from the professional archive
Aveno permanent dossier · published 6 Sep 2026
Foxfield
Rudry Road, Lisvane, Cardiff
Independent reading
A purpose-built 1999 Cardiff estate with seven en-suite bedrooms, a three-storey white-oak staircase, lift-served leisure floor, wine cellar, valet garage, tennis court, three ponds and about 24 private acres.
Foxfield clears Aveno's outstanding-modern-estate route through a fully commissioned 1999 building rather than a period shell: the four-level plan, lift, undercroft vehicle hall, glulam leisure floor and open family kitchen are integrated infrastructure, while the exceptionally crafted modern-regency envelope gives the house a distinct authored identity. The current £8m guide is about £505/sq ft on OnTheMarket's 15,855 sq ft structured field, but The Luxury Home Show states 24,000 sq ft and the earlier Savills presentation reported 24,190 sq ft. Those figures may use different boundaries for the undercroft, roof leisure floor, circulation or ancillary spaces and cannot be blended. The five-year model uses £891,750 of Welsh main-residence Land Transaction Tax, not SDLT, plus acquisition work and modelled estate operations; finance and major defects are excluded.

Identity confidence98%
Foxfield, Rudry Road, Lisvane, Cardiff
Fine & Country's live original instruction, current Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket distributions, and The Luxury Home Show's working film all identify Foxfield on Rudry Road, Lisvane at offers over £8m. They align on the 1999 purpose-built detached freehold estate, seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, five receptions, EPC C, Band I, signature three-storey American white-oak stair, upper leisure floor, wine cellar, lift, tennis court, ponds and undercroft valet garage. The exact name, road, price, build date, rare accommodation and film produce a highly confident match; the house number, full postcode, title and UPRN remain buyer-side.

Source ↗Published / verified
- Fine & Country's live original instruction offers Foxfield at over £8m and records a detached freehold residence with seven bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, five receptions, EPC C and Council Tax Band I.
- The current instruction dates the completed house to 1999 and describes four levels, a lift, seven en-suite bedrooms, two offices, formal and family rooms, an orangery, a top-floor kitchen/bar and leisure space, wine cellar, gym and undercroft valet-style garage.
- The current agent presentation states around 24 acres but also refers to 25 acres; an earlier Savills record states 19.5 acres. Only an official title plan and measured survey can settle the included extent.
- OnTheMarket currently exposes 15,855 sq ft, while The Luxury Home Show reports 24,000 sq ft and the earlier Savills presentation reported 24,190 sq ft. The discrepancy is retained as an unresolved component-boundary issue.
- The landscaped estate includes three ponds, mature woodland, formal lawns, a tennis court, terraces and potential equestrian use, according to the current instruction.
- The Luxury Home Show's working exact-property film identifies Foxfield and matches the current listing's stair, room programme, grounds, garage and £8m market position.
- At £8m, Welsh main-residence LTT is £891,750 under the current 0%, 6%, 7.5%, 10% and 12% bands; higher rates or reliefs would change the figure.
Investigate next
- Obtain the numbered address, official title register and plan, UPRN and every document governing the Rudry Road access, gates, boundaries, woodland, ponds, drainage, water abstraction/discharge, services and any agricultural or equestrian land.
- Retrieve the complete 1996–1999 design-and-build archive: architect and engineer appointments, planning permissions and condition discharges, Building Control completion, structural and glulam design, fire strategy, lift certification, warranties and subsequent alteration approvals.
- Commission a signed RICS component measurement reconciling 15,855, 24,000 and 24,190 sq ft and separating principal habitable space, roof leisure floor, undercroft garage, cellar, gym, plant, voids and circulation; separately measure the 19.5/24/25-acre land conflict against the title plan.
- Obtain three years of electricity, heating, water, drainage, lift, security, insurance, grounds, ponds, tennis, vehicle-hall and building-maintenance records, together with specialist roof, stonework, timber, glazing, services and retaining/drainage surveys.
