Foulsham House is a fine, stone house of the 1790s. It stands high above the River Byre, in twenty five hectares(公顷) of the best farmland in the south-west.Smithson built the house, and the story goes that George, the young Prince(王子)of Wales, fell in love with the beautiful lady Kitty Wake, at one of the first,Lord Foulsham's wild parties. Many great men have ridden on the hills about Foulsham House, and many fine ladies have taken tea in the Green Room.
The house has eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living?rooms and a dinning-room with a real Adam fireplace. The gentleman's library has a view over the park and the river that is quite without equal. All rooms are light and airy, with good, high windows and wood floors.
At the back of the house, in the buildings in which the third Lond-Foulsham kept the borses which made him famous, there is garage space for four cars. In many other ways, this house of the 1790s meets the needs of the 1970s.If you wish to know more about Foulsham House, write to : Harvery, Platt, Longford & Sons, 6, Castle Green, Gilham, Byreside.
