Description
Fulford Hall is a house located on Fulford Hall Lane, dating from the early to mid-18th century, with origins attributed to the 17th century. It has undergone various additions and alterations, including wings added to the rear in the mid to late 18th century, a 19th-century extension to the left, and a porch built in 1902. The building was constructed for the Keys family and features pinkish-orange brick with red brick and sandstone dressings, along with a partly-exposed 17th-century core made of magnesian limestone. The roof is covered with red plain tiles.
The house is two storeys high and consists of ten bays, with the two rightmost bays being from the 19th century. The 18th-century section has red brick quoins. The entrance is located in the fifth bay and features an eight-fielded-panel door set within a single-storey Tudor revival porch, which has a round-arched opening adorned with a heraldic motif of the Keys family, a cornice, and a low parapet. Most windows are 12-pane sashes set under flat arches made of red rubbed brick, with the first eight bays having red brick quoined jambs. Notably, there is a full-height staircase window in the third bay, which is an unequally-hung 15-pane sash with radial glazing at the top, also under a round arch of red rubbed brick and with red brick quoined jambs. The building features a four-course band at the first floor level and a dentil eaves band. The roof is structured in two levels and includes ridge and rear stacks.
Inside, the entrance hall showcases 17th-century oak panelling, which is also found in the drawing room and first-floor dressing room, although the latter has been painted over. The 18th-century open-well staircase is distinguished by barleysugar-on-vase balusters, and the staircase window has an egg and dart moulded surround. The hall ceiling is decorated with moulding on both the ground and first floors. There are various inscribed and dated lead rainwater buckets, including 'ROJ 1736', 'JK 1766', 'GW 1691', and 'RO 1745', as well as a rainwater head at the rear inscribed and dated 'JK 1764'.
