A HOUSE WITH A HISTORY

Foulsham House is a fine,stone house of the 1790s.It stands by the River Byre,in twenty-five hectares(公顷)of the best farmland in the southwest.

Smithson built the house,and the story goes back to George,the young Prince of Wales,who fell in love with the beautiful lady Kitty Wake,at one of the first Lord Foulsham’s wild woods parties.In the past many great men rode on the hills about Foulsham House,and many fine ladies took tea in the Green Room.

The house has eight bedrooms,three bathrooms,two living-rooms and a dining room with a real Adam fire-place(壁炉).The gentleman’s library has a view over the park and the river.All rooms are light and airy(空气通畅的),with wood,high windows,and wood floors.

At the back of the house,where the third Lord Foulsham kept the horses,there is garage-space(停车的地方)for four cars.In many other ways,this house of the 1790s meets the needs of the 2000s.
