Mitton House

Mitton House is a house built in the late 18th century for the Mitton family, with earlier origins at the rear and a roof added in the late 19th century. It is constructed of yellow brick and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has a T-shaped plan with a central entrance hall at the east front, which includes two rooms, a kitchen, and stairs to the rear. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has three symmetrical bays.

A flight of three stone steps leads to a 19th-century panelled door with an overlight that has margin bars, supported by scrolled consoles beneath a moulded pediment. There is a blocked basement window to the right, which is set beneath a segmental header arch. The original tripartite sash windows, which include glazing bars, have sills beneath rubbed-brick flat arches. The roof is swept with overhanging eaves, and there are end stacks. A boarded segmental-arched opening can be found in the left gable of the attic, while the rear wing features a stone-coped gable with a shaped kneeler.

Inside, original 18th-century details include an open well staircase with a ramped handrail and balusters shaped like columns on vases with square knops. The ground floor left has a wooden chimney-piece with pilasters, a panelled frieze, and a dentilled cornice, flanked by half-domed alcoves with keyed architraves and shelves above pairs of fielded-panelled doors. The ground floor right features a moulded dado rail and a dentilled chimney-piece with fluted and foliate ornament in the frieze, along with square-headed alcoves. On the first floor left, there are a pair of alcoves with round-headed fielded-panel doors. Throughout the house, there are fielded-panel window shutters and reveals, as well as six fielded-panel doors in architraves. The building also has exposed beams and joists, along with barrel-vaulted cellars.
