Foulsham House is a fine, large house of the 1790s.It stands by the River Byer, in twenty—five hectares(公顷)of the best farmland in the southwest.
The house was built by Smithson, and the story goes back to George, the son of King of Whales, who fell in love with the beautiful Lady Kitty, at one of the first Foulsham's wild woods(野外)parties.Many years ago many great men rode on the hills about Foulsham House, and many fine girls took tea in the Green Room.
The house has eight bedrooms, three bathrooms(浴室), two living—rooms, and a dining—room with a real Adam fireplace.Its library has a good view over the park and the river.All rooms are light and airy, with good, high windows, and wood floors.
At the back of the house there is room for four cars.The third Foulsham once kept there.In many other ways, this house of the 1790s meets the needs of the 1990s.
