Poplar Farmhouse (EHER 36588)

Early 19th century timber-framed house.

House of the early 19th century. It is timber-framed and rough cast rendered with a brick rear extension and a grey slate roof. It is two storeys with a three window range first floor, and a two range ground floor of small paned sliding sashes. There is an open gabled porch and four panelled door with two lights and moulded surround. The house has three symmetrically placed red brick chimney stacks. To the rear is a red brick extension of about 1871 which formed part of the farm group. It houses the dairy, and the cellar still retains the alcove for storing the beer barrels. The 19th century doors and stairs are intact. The brick wall extending south helps form a central yard between the house and range to the south and the eastern main range of farm buildings. The house is recorded as Poplars Farmhouse in 1824. <1> See also: <2>
