Farmstead record CLO 070 - Farmstead: Grove Farm (Poplar Grove Farm)

Poplar Grove Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map. The farmstead is laid out in a regular L-plan pattern with additional parallel plan elements. The farmhouse is detached and set away from the yard. The farmstead is set alongside a public road in an isolated location. There has been a significant loss of the working buildings with modern sheds on site. Historic working buildings have been converted to commercial/retail use.

Recorded as part of the Farmsteads in the Suffolk Countryside Project. This is a purely desk-based study and no site visits were undertaken. These records are not intended to be a definitive assessment of these buildings. Dating reflects their presence at a point in time on historic maps and there is potential for earlier origins to buildings and farmsteads. This project highlights a potential need for a more in depth field study of farmstead to gather more specific age data.
