A handsome mansion house with suitable offices, gardens, and surrounded by a small demesne well wooded and ornamented. This house consists partly of the ancient Tower of Fulford which was repaired from the stones taken from an old mansion which was called Woodhouselee and from which the present building took its name. Together with the above mentioned tower there were large additions made around to make it a suitable mansion in accordance with the modern taste. It is the property and residence of William Tytler Esqr. [Esquire].
