Poulton Hall

Poulton Hall is a house dating from 1653, with a rear wing added in 1710 and a further extension to the rear wing in 1843. The building is constructed of brick with stone dressings, now covered in pebble-dash, and features a hipped slate roof. It is two storeys high with three bays, and there is a one-storey wing to the left. The exterior includes quoins and a plain cornice. The windows have architraves; those on the ground floor include friezes, cornices, and French windows, while the first-floor windows are sashed with glazing bars. The central entrance features a Tuscan porch and glazed doors. The left wing, which is one bay, has a hipped roof and a clerestory. There is a cross-axial stack, and the first two bays of the right return are bowed, with windows similar to those on the main façade. The rear wing is similar in style but plainer and has several stacks. Inside, there is a staircase with early 17th-century barley-sugar balusters, believed to have been taken from the altar rail at Lower Bebington Church. The early 18th-century library features three alcoves on the sides, with timber pilasters and cornices, and most alcoves have segmental-headed tops. The east end of the house has been converted into flats.
