Description
Poplar Cottage is a cottage, probably from the 17th century, that stands two storeys high and features a 2-cell end-chimney plan. The building is timber-framed and plastered, sitting on a plinth of tarred red brick. It has a glazed pantiled roof, which was once thatched, and an external 17th-century gable chimney made of red brick, with the lower section plastered. The cottage has an 18th-century or early 19th-century three-light casement window with a transom, along with two two-light casements from the 19th century located above. The entrance door, which is boarded, dates from the 20th century. At the rear, there is a 19th-century outshut that is also pantiled.
