The Property

Poplar Farm is a beautiful Grade II listed thatched farmhouse possibly built as a weavers cottage in the late 16th century which has been sympathetically restored by the owners 32 years ago and has been recently re-thatched using locally grown straw. Walking up the charming pathway leads you to the solid front door. Upon opening the front door you walk into the well lit kitchen/dining room which offers ample space and boasts a warm atmosphere with views into the back garden. The kitchen benefits from being duel aspect and having an original brick floor. The solid fuel Rayburn with back boiler heats the radiators and hot water and an LPG gas cooker sits in the corner. Throughout the house you will find a lot of the original features such as oak panelling, large inglenook fireplaces and wooden floor boards on the first floor. Walking though the door on your right in the kitchen brings one into the back entrance, the hallway provides good space to hang coats and kick muddy shoes off after walks around the garden. Walking down the hallway brings you to the study, kitchen and downstairs bathroom. The bathroom offers great lighting with views into the back garden and fitted with a bath with shower over, WC, hand wash basin and washing machine. Walking back into the kitchen and through the door in front of you brings you into the downstairs hallway with the stairs on your left. Opening the door in front of you brings you into the sitting room which is a great family room with its inglenook fireplace housing a wood burner. Moving back into the hallway and walking up the solid wood winding staircase brings you to the landing upstairs with doors on your right and left. Walking through the door to your right brings you into the master bedroom with original wooden flooring and a heavely beamed ceiling brimming with charm and character. Walking back onto the landing and through the opposite door brings you into the second bedroom with good lighting, original features and a large walk in wardrobe. Walking up the stairs brings you into the third bedroom with pitched roofing and a generous space. Moving through the door situated on your right at the top of the stairs brings you into the storage room with exposed thatch which could be converted into a fourth bedroom subject to planning.



Outside

The property is situated in 2.5 acres which includes a large vegetable garden, back garden planted with several fruit trees, a small wood of around 70 trees, a meadow with pond and a piece of original moat. The meadow was once used as an organic market garden and has been cultivated organically. To the left of the driveway is a timber framed car port which provides space for two cars undercover and ample parking on the drive way. The car port is connected to a large timber barn which provides masses of storage space. The barn has the potential to be converted into a holiday home or annex subject to the usual planning. Walking to the right of the barn brings you into the vegetable garden with horticultural store shed and stunning views over the meadow onto the woodland area and surrounding fields including a rare Black Suffolk Poplar tree. The back garden of Poplar Farm offers ample space and shows the beautiful setting of Silverleys Green with tall trees and the sound of wildlife. The rural position of Poplar Farm with its mature trees and hedge makes it a haven for wildlife including a local resident barn owl.
