Cogie Hill, Preston, PR3

Poplar Farm comprises a detached farmhouse constructed of cavity brick walls, circa 1900 under slate pitched roof elevations and a range of farmbuildings in a 1.75 acre setting with access from Garstang Road the council maintained road leading from Pilling to Winmarleigh. This four bedroom farmhouse has been unoccupied for a period of three years and, whilst it could easily be renovated, it does have planning permission for demolition and a new dwelling and detached garage in place. The farmbuildings are currently in agricultural use but there is an existing covenant which restricts some other uses such as haulage including heavy goods haulage or other business uses without the permission of the owner of Crawley Cross Farm through which access is gained. There is also an unrestricted right of way up the farm track to the north of Poplar Farm onto Gulf Lane.
