Poulton Manor is a late 17th-century Grade I listed Cotswold house set in about 2 acres in the heart of Poulton village. The principal manor retains strong period character — high ceilings, oak and elm floors, original fireplaces and an impressive flagstone reception hall — and offers substantial living space across multiple floors, plus a cellar and outbuildings.
The estate includes a self-contained Hermitage (holiday let potential), a two-bedroom Manor Cottage, and a Coach House with workshop, providing flexible accommodation for family, staff or income. Landscaped formal gardens, a red-brick kitchen garden, streams and a wildlife wood create private outdoor spaces and extensive scope for outdoor living and horticulture.
Practical considerations are significant and factual: the property is Grade I listed, which will restrict alterations and cause additional consent processes and costs. Heating is oil-fired to the main house (electric to The Hermitage), the stone walls are likely uninsulated, and the listing means modernisation will be constrained. Council tax is described as very expensive and the cottages are on mixed services (private drainage for the main house).
This manor will suit a buyer seeking a historic Cotswold house with ancillary accommodation and grounds — someone prepared for conservation-led ownership, ongoing maintenance and the planning restrictions that accompany listed status. For those seeking an income stream, the existing holiday let and separate cottage offer immediate letting potential in an affluent rural area close to Cirencester.
