Description
Poplars Farmhouse is a farmhouse with origins dating back to the 17th century, but it underwent extensive reconstruction in 1821, as indicated by the rainheads, and has 20th-century windows. The building is constructed of orange brick in English garden wall bond and features a low-pitched Welsh slate roof with three brick chimneys, one of which is located on the central ridge. The farmhouse has an F-shaped plan and is two stories tall with a four-bay front. The first and third bays project under shaped gables that have stone copings. The first bay contains 20th-century casement windows, while the third bay features a half-glazed door set in an ovolo-moulded wooden surround, accessed by stone steps. There are casement windows above and in the remaining bays, and the right end gable is also shaped and coped similarly. At the rear, there is a dentil brick cornice. Inside, the main rooms have heavy boxed beams, and there is a plain staircase. A pine door with six sunken moulded panels is still present on the ground floor.
