Description
Gurston Manor is a detached house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the late 17th century, 19th century, and the 1970s. The building features a chequered flint and limestone exterior, topped with a tiled roof and four diagonally-set brick stacks. It is designed in an L-plan with a cross range at the west end and has two storeys plus an attic. The south front has three windows.
To the right, there is a 20th-century door and a two-light casement window in a 19th-century extension, while to the left, a doorway has been blocked. The house displays three-light and four-light mullioned and transomed casements with hoodmoulds, all featuring ovolo-moulding. On the first floor, there are four-light and three-light ovolo-mullioned casements, along with a two-light casement in the 19th-century extension. The attic gable of the cross wing has a three-light ovolo-mullioned casement with a hoodmould, and there is a small decapitated statue set into the wall below the eaves to the right.
The left side of the house includes a 20th-century flat-roofed conservatory and a three-light ovolo-mullioned casement with a hoodmould to the left. The first floor features two-light and four-light mullioned casements, and the cross wing has coped verges with saddlestones. At the rear, there is a blocked three-light mullioned casement on the ground floor and a three-light mullioned casement on the first floor of the cross wing. A 20th-century single-storey extension is attached to the left side of the rear, which connects to a 19th-century parallel rear wing that has segmental-headed two-light casements.
Inside, the study has an open fireplace with a chamfered lintel on chamfered stone jambs, while the drawing room features a Tudor arched moulded stone fireplace. The remainder of the interior has been altered. The manor was associated with Kings College, Cambridge, and the facade of the house is clearly depicted on a map from 1656, a copy of which hangs in the house.
