Poulton Manor is the Quintessential Cotswolds Village House
The quintessential Cotswolds house is nestled in 2 acres of landscaped grounds in the heart of its namesake village, Poulton.
Built from honey-coloured stone, the much admired Poulton Manor is a fine example of a William and Mary style home and is attributed to either John Paget and Peter Mills, the surveyor responsible for rebuilding London after the Great Fire.
Dating back to the 17th century, the house has been unchanged in the last 70 years of private ownership, featuring many of the original design features through, including its original oak, cantilevered staircase, Doric pilasters window seats and shutters, polished oak and elm floorboards, and an original 18th century fireplace believed to be from the former Clutton House in Kingston on Thames.
The home has 3 reception rooms, and 6 bedrooms, with an additional guesthouse (The Hermitage) and a 2-bedroom Manor cottage with its own separate walled garden, in addition to the property’s productive kitchen garden enclosed in dwarf Cotswold stone walling.
The gardens create an idyllic atmosphere, planted to provide colour and interest throughout the seasons. Adjacent to the open countryside and neighbouring wood, the property is bordered on one side with a brook and charming stone bridge.
