Later renamed Shobrooke House, demolished pre-1844 and rebuilt nearby in Italianate style. The stream in the foreground, over which a woman is crossing on a plank bridge to left,[1] was dammed-up in the 19th century landscaping to form a series of ornamental lakes, which surviveLittle Fulford House in 1797, viewed from south-west, detail from watercolour by John Swete. The west front (left) is Elizabethan, as built by Sir William Peryam (1534–1604); the south front (right, with bow window) is a Georgian alteration. Swete found the juxtaposition of the two styles "widely incongruous"[2]Shobrooke House, built by Richard Hippisley Tuckfield (1774–1844) on or near the site of Little Fulford House which he demolished.

Little Fulford was a historic estate in the parishes of Shobrooke and Crediton,[4] Devon. It briefly share ownership before 1700 with Great Fulford, in Dunsford, about 9 miles (14 km) to the south-west. The Elizabethan mansion house originally called Fulford House was first built by Sir William Peryam (1534-1604), a judge and Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer. It acquired the diminutive epithet "Little" in about 1700 to distinguish it from Fulford House, Dunsford and was at some time after 1797[1] renamed Shobrooke House, to remove all remaining confusion between the two places. Peryam's mansion was demolished in 1815 and a new house erected on a different site away from the River Creedy. This new building was subsequently remodelled in 1850 in an Italianate style. It was destroyed by fire in 1945 and demolished, with only the stable block remaining today. The landscaped park survives, open on the south side to the public by permissive access, and crossed in parts by public rights of way, with ancient large trees and two sets of ornate entrance gates with a long decorative stone multiple-arched bridge over a large ornamental lake. The large pleasure garden survives, usually closed to the public, with walled kitchen garden and stone walls and balustrades of terraces.[5] The park and gardens are Grade II listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.[6] The estate was the home successively of the families of Peryam, Tuckfield, Hippisley and lastly the Shelley baronets, in whose possession it remains today.
