Milford House Hotel

Milford House Hotel is a building that dates back to around 1730 and has been altered and extended in the mid-18th century, late 18th century, and again to the west around 1840. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and originally featured a hipped slate roof. The structure has two storeys above a cellar, with an attic storey added later.

The front of the building has five bays in a classical style, with a one bay extension set back to the left and a three-window range, which is one and a half storeys high, at the right end. There are stacks located to the left and right of the centre and at the rear. A stone plat band runs over the basement plinth, and there is a modillioned cornice above the first floor, with a pediment over the central three bays that includes a keystoned lunette in the tympanum.

The building features a stone-coped parapet over the attic storey, with panelled end piers above block rusticated angle piers. Originally, the windows had glazing bar sash fenestration from the late 18th century, which has since been destroyed, although the window openings remain with stone cills and gauged brick heads, featuring keystones at the centre. There are five windows on the attic and first floors, and four on the ground floor, all with gauged brick aprons. The basement windows have cambered heads.

Access to the building is via four stone steps leading to a pedimented and block rusticated columned door surround, which is now boxed in. The hotel was gutted by fire in 1983, resulting in the destruction of interior features and the removal of the roof, leaving it as a shell at the time of re-survey.
