Keen to discover more about this popular Preston suburb along Garstang Road with its tree-lined streets, Victorian architecture and excellent schools? Fulwood has been a sought-after place to live since the 19th century and continues to attract families and professionals alike. Keep reading to see what Fulwood has to offer.
Fulwood is a suburban district lying approximately two miles north of Preston city centre in Lancashire. The name derives from the Old English ‘Fulewde’, meaning dark wooded area, a reference to its origins as part of the Royal Forest of Fulwood. The area remained largely agricultural until the mid-19th century, when wealthy Preston industrialists began building substantial homes here, attracted by the elevated position and cleaner air away from the cotton mills.
Until 1974, Fulwood was governed independently from Preston by its own Urban District Council, and this separate history has helped the area retain a distinct identity. The majority of the older settlement lies within the Fulwood Conservation Area, which protects the Victorian and Edwardian streetscapes that give the suburb much of its visual appeal. Notable historic buildings include Fulwood Barracks (built 1848),
the former Harris Orphanage (1888), and several grand Victorian villas along Garstang Road.
Today, Fulwood is one of Preston’s most desirable suburbs, particularly popular with families and professionals. The area is notably greener than much of Preston, with tree-lined streets, generous gardens and proximity to Moor Park. The Royal Preston Hospital, Preston’s main acute hospital, is located on Sharoe Green Lane and is a significant local employer. The suburb is also home to Preston’s College campus on St Vincent’s Road.
Fulwood has a varied population. Historically, the area attracted wealthy textile merchants and professionals; more recently, it has become home to a notable Vora Patel community, whose families have lived here for several generations since the mid-20th century migration from India.
Fulwood features a varied housing stock that reflects its development from the mid-Victorian era onwards. The Fulwood Conservation Area contains some of Lancashire’s finest Victorian buildings, including grand villas built by wealthy Preston industrialists.
Elsewhere, you will find Edwardian terraces, inter-war semi-detached homes, and modern estates developed from the 1970s onwards when the Central Lancashire New Town proposals opened up new land for building. Period properties along Garstang Road and the streets around Sharoe Green often feature bay windows, decorative brickwork and generous gardens.
Developments: Fulwood has seen considerable expansion in recent decades. The Longsands area was developed as a large residential estate, whilst the B6241 corridor has attracted commercial development including the Fulwood Central retail and leisure park,
which opened in 2019 and has since expanded with additional retail units and dining options. Ongoing housing developments continue in the areas between Fulwood and Broughton, with new family homes being built on former agricultural land.
Property prices: According to Rightmove, the average property price in Fulwood over the past year was approximately £232,000. Semi-detached homes, which make up the majority of sales, sold for an average of around £222K. Detached properties commanded higher prices at approximately £324K, whilst terraced homes averaged around £155K.
The most sought-after roads, including those in the Sharoe Green area and near Moor Park, can see properties selling for considerably more, with some homes on premium streets reaching £400K+.
Fulwood benefits from good transport links, with bus services connecting the suburb to Preston city centre and the wider area, whilst the nearby motorway network provides straightforward routes to Manchester, Liverpool and beyond.
