Millfield House

Millfield House is a late 18th-century country house, now linked at the rear to later hospital buildings. The house has two storeys and nine windows, with the central three-bay section set back. It has slated roofs, with a later raised mansard roof with a dormer over the right-hand section. The construction is predominantly stock brick with a stone-coped parapet. The window arches are formed with gauged flat brick, and the windows were originally sash windows with glazing bars, though most have been replaced. A window on the first floor has been blocked. The central window is framed by a moulded architrave within a wood panel. The central section of the ground floor is stuccoed and features Roman Doric columns and a frieze. A bow projection with three round-headed, half-glazed doors in reeded architraves is present, flanked by round-headed niches. Long cast iron verandahs with swept roofs are situated on either side, and these have been renewed in corrugated iron. Inside, there is an oval entrance lobby and an oval stairwell containing a curved staircase and a glass dome. The doors and enriched architraves are curved to match the shape of the wall. Several marble fireplaces are present, including a handsome carved one in the right front room.
