Description
Poulton House is an early 18th-century house that was altered in the late 18th century. It is two stories tall and features a steeply pitched plain tiled roof with a stack at the west end. The building is constructed of rubble stone and has a cement-rendered front, which includes an early 18th-century deep coved cornice. The corners have chamfered quoins, and there is a stone plinth.
The front has a three-window range of large glazing bar sash windows, with the center window on the first floor being blank. The bay spacing is irregular. The entrance features an open pedimented doorcase supported by brackets and panelled piers. The doorway has an arched head with reeded reveals, a flush panelled door, and a fanlight with radiating bars.
At the rear, the building is made of rubble stone and has a coved cornice. There are two early 18th-century windows with brick surrounds on the first floor, one of which retains its original thick glazing bars. The west side of the rear wall has a brick chimney stack, and there is a projecting rear extension with a hipped roof and a large glazing bar sash window on the first floor. An early 19th-century staircase is also present inside.
