Description

Poplars Farmhouse is a house that dates from the mid-18th century, with some alterations, and was extended in the mid-19th century. The building consists of two bays on the left made of red and vitreous brick, featuring an off-set plinth and a first floor band course. A timber truss is visible in the left gable. The roof is covered with 20th-century tiles, and there is a red and vitreous brick chimney in the center, with a later chimney to the right. The house is two storeys high with four bays.

The windows are 20th-century three-light metal casements, with those on the ground floor to the right having segmental heads. The left bay has an irregular arrangement of paired and single lights on the first floor, and a blocked window below. There is a central lobby entry with a boarded door and a small blocked oval window above.

To the left of the farmhouse is an outbuilding dated 1780 on a beam, which was originally timber-framed with a weatherboard front wall but has now been rebuilt in concrete blocks, topped with a corrugated asbestos roof. There is also a brick lean-to in front to the right with a hipped roof, a metal casement window, and a boarded door. Additionally, there is another shed made of concrete blocks to the right.
