About this property

  • Fulwood House has an internal area of over 5,000 square feet. The Edwardian built house is an impressive and spacious family home, constructed from red brick under a pitched slate roof. The property has enormous character inside and out.

    Internally Fulwood House has high ceilings throughout as well as large windows, including bay and sash, bringing character and allowing natural light to flood in.

    There is a grand and delightfully bright entrance hall. To the south of the property is an elegant drawing room with an open fire place and sophisticated arch alcove behind, as well as a wonderful bay window allowing plenty of natural light. There is a bright music room behind which leads out to the garden through large French windows.

    The beautiful and spacious family room has a central wood burning stove, with two niches either side with bookshelves within. Facing the family room is the dining room, which is wonderful and spacious. Beyond the dining room is the kitchen/breakfast room, the delightful space has plenty storage and worksurfaces.

    The garden room also leads off from the dining room and has views over the gardens and mature trees.

    The sweeping stairs lead to the bright hallway with an oval ceiling, which in turn leads to eight generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms; a third floor has two surprisingly spacious and bright attic rooms.

    OUTSIDE
    There is a substantial garden with fine mature trees overlooked by a paved terrace to the rear. The garden wraps around to the front on the property, where there is a long drive. At the front are excellent outbuildings providing useful storage.

Fulwood House is an incredibly impressive detached house. I especially love the elegant drawing room and beautiful gardens.
