Description

Mill Platt Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse that has undergone some alterations in the 19th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar quoins and brick dressings, topped with a pantile roof featuring two gable stacks and one brick ridge stack. The building has a three-unit plan with a rear service wing and is two storeys high with a garret. The front has four bays and displays a brick dentillated eaves course.

The entrance features an off-centre half-glazed door, which is sheltered by a mid-19th century yellow brick porch that has a wooden cornice and a flat lead roof. To the left of the door are one tripartite glazing bar sash window, and to the right are two tripartite glazing bar sash windows, all with segmental brick heads. On the first floor, there are three tripartite windows and a single sash window, all with timber lintels. To the right of the main structure is a single-storey stone extension with a fixed light.

Inside, the farmhouse retains an early 19th-century staircase with alternating plain and turned balusters and a wreathed handrail. The softwood roof is constructed with clasped purlins. The farmhouse is sometimes referred to as Manor Farmhouse.
