Mile Oak Farmhouse

Mile Oak Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-17th century, with some alterations made in the late 20th century and a rear addition. The building features a framed construction, with the ground floor built in Flemish bond brick and the first floor tile-hung. It has a peg-tile roof and a brick stack. The farmhouse faces east and has a lobby entrance plan that is three rooms wide. The two rooms on the left are heated by back-to-back fireplaces in an axial stack, while the right-hand room was previously divided into a dairy and a stair cell. The partition between the center and right-hand rooms has been removed, and there is a late 20th-century rear right wing.

The exterior is two storeys with an attic. The roof is half-hipped at the left end and hipped at the right end, featuring a stack with staggered shafts made of handmade brick. The front is asymmetrical with three windows and has a 19th-century plank front door leading to the lobby entrance, located to the left of center, which is sheltered by a 20th-century gabled porch on timber posts. The windows are 2- and 3-light casements, dating from the 19th or early 20th century, with two panes per light. The left return has one 20th-century window on each floor, including an attic window.

Inside, the hall at the center has exposed joists and some replaced beams, along with an open fireplace featuring brick jambs and a chamfered lintel. A crossbeam from the former party wall with the right-hand room has been reused and includes sockets for a mullioned window. The right-hand room has exposed carpentry, including some replaced timber, while the left-hand room is plastered. On the first floor, the wall-framing is intact, with wall posts that have formed jowls and one large straight brace on the rear wall. Several 17th-century doors remain on the first floor, preserving wall plaster and exposed crossbeams and joists.

The roof has a clasped purlin construction, with the purlins truncated on either side of the stack, suggesting the presence of a former smoke bay.
