Poplar Farmhouse

Poplar Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse that was formerly a manor house. It has two storeys and attics, featuring a three-cell plan with two original crosswings. The building is timber-framed and pebble-dashed, topped with plaintiled roofs. A 19th-century axial chimney with three diagonally-set square shafts made of red brick is present, along with a 18th-century external chimney on the left-hand crosswing. The windows are mid-19th-century three-light small-pane casements, some of which include transomes. The entrance door is a 19th-century glazed panelled design, sheltered by an open gabled plaintiled porch supported by posts. Inside, chamfered floor-joists and some main framing members are exposed. The parlour wing on the right has had its first-floor structure removed in the 18th or 19th century to create tall reception rooms, and this range features an original queenpost roof, while the other roofs have two tiers of butt purlins.
