Poplar Farm House, formerly known as 'Poplars Farm', is a timber framed and plastered house believed to date back to the 18th century with a modern two storey extension infilling the south-west corner providing a light-filled sitting room with the principal bedroom suite above. There is a lovely dining room situated to the front of the house offering exposed timbers and leading to a small entrance porch. A cosy family room leads to a traditional kitchen opening to the gardens beyond. An inner hall links the cloakroom and utility room. To the upper level there are five bedrooms in total and a family bathroom with two of the bedrooms offering en suite facilities. All the rooms enjoy beautiful far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside.
The barn is located to the south-western corner of the house and has been thoughtfully converted. A small proportion of the building is being utilised as an office and lends itself for wider use, making for an ideal business from home space. The remainder of the building provides two substantial games rooms, storage room and a reception room. To first floor there is a further games room, summer room kitchenette and shower room.
The property is being sold with no chain and offers a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a business from home space as well multigenerational/extended family living quarters.
Outside
Poplar Farm House is set back from its country lane setting over a long gated drive with east and south-eastly facing gardens backing on to open farmland. The drive provides ample parking serving both the house and barn, ideal for visitors, and continues past the side of the house to a detached stable block comprising three distinct sections. The building is being utilised for storage purposes but offers great potential for supplementary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. Terraced seating areas extend to both the rear and side of the property with the majority of the gardens neatly laid to lawn interspersed with a selection of specimen trees. To the eastern section is an all-weather tennis court, further outbuildings and a kitchen garden leading to the rear of the barn. The barn enjoys an area of lawn to the front leading back to the drive. All in around 1.5 acres.
