Philiphaugh

This is a late 19th-century house, dated 1893, that has been altered and extended in the 20th century and is now used as a residential home. It is constructed of slatestone rubble with granite dressings, topped with a slate roof featuring crested ridge tiles and gable ends. Brick chimney shafts rise from gable stacks.

The house is arranged on a double-depth plan, with main rooms extending to the front right and left. A circular tower sits to the left, and the entrance is housed within a porch set in the angle between these two rooms. A rear range contains service rooms and projects beyond the front range to the right, forming a wing.

The building is two storeys high, with an asymmetrical front elevation and a three-storey tower to the left. The left bay has a stepped gable and the porch, while the bay to the right is slightly set back and similarly features a stepped gable. The porch has a round-arched entrance with colonnettes and a pitched roof, leading to a 19th-century panelled and glazed door with overlight. A two-light 19th-century casement window with a chamfered granite mullion surround sits above the porch. To the left of the porch, a three-light window with a chamfered granite mullion and transom is present at both ground and first floor, topped with a tall stepped gable containing a single chamfered granite light. The three-storey circular tower to the left has a corbelled embattled parapet and three-light chamfered granite mullion and transom windows on each floor. To the right of the porch, a canted bay at ground floor features four chamfered granite lights, with a three-light granite mullion and transom window above and a stepped gable. All windows are 19th-century plate-glass sashes. A single-storey 20th-century addition is located on the left side; a single light is present at first floor. The gable end stack has buttresses. The right end has single lights to the ground and first floors, and a two-light window to the attic. The service range extends to the right, featuring a three-light granite window at both ground and first floors. The gable end to the right includes a 20th-century door and a three-light granite window at first floor. A large 20th-century addition is located at the rear.

Inside, the porch leads to an entrance hall with a staircase. A large rear window illuminates the stairwell, featuring stained glass depicting rural scenes with herons, dated 1893. The dog-leg staircase has turned balusters and a boxed-in section added in the 20th century.
