INTRODUCTION
Poole Barton is a beautiful Late 15th century house affording mature south facing gardens, a range of traditional outbuildings (offering development potential subject to planning) and flexible accommodation. This Grade II* Listed property is one of the most historically and architecturally significant houses in this popular and attractive village.
