History
The house was built circa 1484 and was constructed using cob walls, based on a stone foundation.[1] The original house had a rectangular layout and wings and a porch were later added to the structure, making an E-shape.[1]
The house was originally called Poerhayes after the le Poer family and then Dukeshayes after the latter family acquired the estate through marriage.[2] Hayes Barton was the birthplace and childhood home of the statesman and explorer Sir Walter Raleigh.[3] The Raleigh family leased the property from the Duke family and the property later passed to the Rolle family in the 18th century.[2]
It is a Grade II* listed property.[4]
