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.
For sale with Savills. See more pictures and details for this property.

Lots of houses are nice and square. This one is nice and round, which is why I like it. It's even called The Round House. Made out of Cotswold stone and beautifully presented, it was created out of the farmbuildings of nearby Paxford House.
Meticulously designed by a local architect, it's now a six-bedroom family home that offers five acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, privacy and an outdoor pool.
