2009. Building survey.
The Poplars is a one-and-a-half storey rendered building under a thatched roof. The east end is gabled and the west end is half-hipped. It is suggested that the house was built in the sixteenth century as two service rooms, hall and parlour and the service end with a chamber above. There may have been an original timber-framed chimney next to the service partition. The hall and possibly the parlour were originally unfloored. In the seventeenth century a brick chimney stack was added and the hall and parlour were floored.
