This 16th-century house sits in a medieval deer park and peaceful grounds. Built in the mid 1500s by William Hill, the estate itself was originally part of the Bishop of Winchester's Taunton Deane estate. Other buildings and extensions were built in the 17th century and there's a lodge to the north which pre-dates the main park.

While private, the Channel to Channel footpath passes right by Poundisford Park, offering wonderful views of the impressive house.
