Description
Poplar Farmhouse is a 17th-century timber-frame house located in Shelfanger, featuring roughcast exterior and a steep gable-ended pantile roof with a central brick chimney stack. The building has two storeys and two widely spaced windows fitted with modern casements. Inside, the farmhouse showcases exposed timber-framing. At the rear, there is a wing that forms an L-shaped plan and has been re-roofed with a lower pitched pantile roof.
Adjoining the farmhouse to the north-west is an outbuilding, also roughcast timber-frame and square in plan, with a pyramidal pantile roof and two storeys. It retains original windows with diagonally set square mullions and was once used as a dairy, although its original use is not known.
