Description

Poulton Farmhouse is a house that dates back to the 15th century, with extensions and alterations made from the 17th to the 19th centuries. It features a timber frame that is exposed, with plaster infill and painted brick, and has been extended with painted brick. The roof is plain tiled. The building is an end jettied hall house with four framed bays, and it has been extended by one bay to the north-west, which is to the left of the main elevation.

The farmhouse has two storeys and an attic, sitting on a plinth, with a jetty on the right return and an exposed frame on the left of the now obscured jetty. It has a large hipped roof with a gablet on the right, and chimney stacks at both ends, as well as clustered stacks to the centre right. There is a hipped dormer on the left and a large projecting two-storey hip in the centre, which includes a canted two-storey bay with French doors on the ground floor. On each floor, there are two wooden casements on both the left and right sides, along with a canted bay on the left that also has French doors.

To the right, there is a wide plank and stud door set in a four-centred arched doorway with an enriched spandrel. The interior features a crown post roof. The farmhouse is located on a manorial site.
