Sulham House, otherwise known as Sulham Hall is a country house near Sulham in Berkshire. It once stood self-contained in a noble park, though the service block has since been divided into private flats.
The house and flats are together a Grade II listed building.[1]
The house is of the early 18th century, but rebuilt around 1839.
The estate
The parkland covers around a third of the elongated parish, and is Grade II* listed on the Register of Parks and Gardens.[2]
Nearby stands Wilder's Folly, a brick tower or dovecote built in 1769 by Reverend Henry Wilder of Sulham House,[3] built while he was courting Joan Thoyts, a daughter of the neighbouring estate, Sulhamstead House (in which he was successful, the marriage producing eleven children). The Wilder family has owned the estate since the 1400s.[4]
