Description
Fulbourn Manor House is a mansion that was largely rebuilt around 1910 by Dudley Newman, while still incorporating parts of the original early 17th century house on the site. The structure is primarily brick rendered and features Ketton limestone. It has a variety of roof styles, including gabled, mansard, and hipped, covered with slate and lead, and is topped with red brick stacks that have short octagonal linked shafts. The house is mostly two and two and a half storeys high, arranged in a single range with the service end located to the east. The early 17th century section is situated towards the southwest end and consists of two storeys, featuring a modillion eaves cornice. A central two-storey porch with a hipped roof, added around 1910, leads to the original cross-passage. On either side of the porch are four 1910 hung sash windows, each with twelve panes and fitted with shutters. The garden doorway has a rusticated surround and the property includes a ha-ha in the garden. Inside, there is a significant amount of re-used early 17th century run-through panelling integrated into the newer construction. Dudley Newman built the house for his cousins, the Townley family, who have owned Fulbourn Manor since the 18th century.
