Poplar Farmhouse

Poplar Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1600. It has two storeys and attics, built with a three-cell lobby-entrance plan. The structure is timber-framed and roughcast, topped with a concrete tiled roof that was once thatched. There is an axial chimney, with the shaft rebuilt in the 19th century using gault brick, and a 19th-century gable chimney of gault brick to the right. The windows are small-pane, three-light casements from the late 19th or early 20th century. The entrance features a modern glazed porch with a panelled door. Inside, the farmhouse displays good quality framing, with exposed joists laid flat and ovolo-moulded in the hall. The massive binding beam has very deep double ovolo mouldings with run-out stops, and there is close-studding. The original attic floor has deep on-edge joists. The parlour cell to the right does not show any exposed framing and may have been rebuilt later.
