Philliswood Farmhouse

Philliswood Farmhouse, now divided into two dwellings, dates to the late 16th or early 17th century, with significant alterations in the 18th century. The timber-frame structure has been re-faced externally with knapped flint, brick dressings, and partial tile hanging on the west wall. The roof is hipped and covered in plain tiles. Three brick stacks are present: a linked double shaft ridge stack, a single shaft stack at the east hip, and a stack at the corner of the rear wing. All three stacks have corbelled cornices with a cogged brick course.

The farmhouse is arranged in an L shape, with a two-storey, three-unit range and a rear wing to the west, and a single-storey outshut at the rear of the east units under a catslide roof. The front elevation features a two-course red brick plinth band and a projecting five-course platt band at first floor level, with a chequer pattern of red stretchers and dark headers. Red brick quoining marks the angles and jambs, and a soldier course forms the heads of the windows, alternating between red and dark brick headers. There are three windows on each floor, all early 19th-century wood casements with glazing bars (two by three panes per light). A doorway sits between the west and central units with a 19th-century timber gabled hood supported on brackets.

Inside, the building retains oak bridging beams with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. Posts are visible on the rear wall of the frame within the outshut. The roof structure includes queen post trusses and through purlins, with the rear slope having been raised. An early 19th-century staircase is present in each dwelling. A bread oven is built into the east stack.
