Poole Hall

Poole Hall is a two-storey red brick country house with a three-bay entrance front and six-bay south side, topped with hipped slate roofs. Inside, it displays classical design with stone slab flooring, Corinthian columns in the drawing room, and geometric staircases with limestone treads in the entry hall.

The house was built in 1817 and reflects the architectural language of the Regency era. Its Grade II* listing status in 1967 recognised its exceptional design quality and importance to the local heritage landscape.

The name reflects its location in Poole, where it has held a prominent place in local architecture since the early 1800s. Visitors can still observe the skilled craftsmanship evident in details such as the geometric staircases and cast iron railings throughout the entry hall.

The building is visible from outside and easily recognisable by its distinctive red brick facade and slate roofs. Visitors should note the classical proportions of the front elevation to locate entrances and windows.

The entrance porch is supported by Ionic columns bearing a flat roof, a detail that underscores the house's classical refinement. The narrow boarded oak door and large recessed windows with flat arches show a subtle yet sophisticated architectural language.
