Poplar Farmhouse

Poplar Farmhouse is a mid-16th century farmhouse that features a timber frame. The ground floor is cased in red brick and colourwashed at the front, while the upper floor has old plaster with some remnants of panelled work. The roof is covered with old clay plain tiles. The building has a two-cell form, stands two storeys high with an attic, and includes three windows with various casements, most of which are old. The upper floor has two windows that retain square-leaded glass.

To the left, there is a 19th-century colourwashed brick gabled porch with scalloped bargeboards, which contains a six-panel door, two of which are glazed. Inside the porch is an older door with six raised and fielded panels. The farmhouse has an internal stack with an axial red brick shaft and a later, smaller stack to the left, just behind the roof ridge. There are lean-to additions on each gable end, both with steeply-pitched roofs.

Inside, both ground floor rooms feature roll-moulded bridging beams and chamfered joists. A notable fully-moulded 16th-century door is located by the stack in the parlour on the right. The upper floor showcases close studding with reverse-curved braces at the corners, and original window openings that have deep sills. The left cell retains its original attic floor with chamfered joists. A 16th-century newel stair consists of two flights. The roof is a queen-post design, although all bracing is missing, and the rafters are re-set on edge with a ridge piece. This farmhouse is a valuable example of a high-quality 16th-century building that has not been heavily restored.
