There's much to say about the Poulton Hill Estate, so I'll do my best. A 12,000sq ft main house with eight bedrooms and 360º views of the surrounding 106 acres of gardens and grounds.
But there's more. Eight of those acres are vineyards, meaning this property produces 12/15,000 bottles of 'award-winning wine' each year. Delightful.
