Fit for a King

Restoration and enlargement of a 17th century farmhouse in the Isle of Sheppey

Some three years Georgina and Gareth Fulton set about restoring the 17th century derelict house named after King James II who spent a night there before his thwarted attempt in 1688 to flee to France on board a ship moored on the river nearby. The couple took over running the 3,300 acre reserve in 2013 after Gareth had retired from the Army having been a serving officer for ten years.
