His nephew, the theologian Julius Charles Hare later occupied the house and extended it in 1833, by constructing a parlour wing and bedroom above.

[2] It has been written that Julius Hare's library at Buckwell Place was "famous" and he entertained a number of "eminent victorians" including the essayist, historian and philosopher Thomas Carlyle.

[1] Julius Hare was known to have collected a number of important books and paintings at Buckwell Place, which were later bequeathed to the University of Cambridge, and then subsequently to the Fitzwilliam Museum.

The southwest front exhibits the parlour wing built in 1833 by Julius Hare, which has a canted bay window and balcony above.

Between the southeast garden front and the southwest parlour wing, Julius Hare constructed a domed conservatory in 1833 for the display of ferns and other tropical plants.

[8] The house retains its original curved staircase, along with the 1833 marble fireplace surround in Julius Hare's library and its bookcases.
