Description
Milford House is a detached house with origins dating back to the early 17th century, featuring a datestone from 1601 on the front elevation. The building has been altered and enlarged in the 18th century and around 1920. It has rubble stone walls and stone slate roofs, with a coped gabled ashlar stack. The current layout is irregular, but the original house had an L-shaped plan, with the main range running parallel to the road and a front projecting wing on the left end. The 20th-century additions match the original construction style.
The house is part two-storeys and part two-storeys with an attic. The original range is two storeys high, featuring a part-glazed door in a 20th-century lean-to porch. The ground floor has two three-light stone mullioned windows with lead lights and hoodmoulds, while the first floor has two similar windows beneath raised coped gables. There are small single-light windows above the porch and a carved coat of arms with the datestone above the left dormer. The left wing, which is at right angles to the road, may have been extended in the 18th century and is also two storeys with an attic. The ground floor features two 20th-century stone mullioned windows with hoodmoulds, and the first floor has a three-light stone mullioned window with hoodmoulds, along with a similar two-light window in the attic gable. Stone stacks are set diagonally at each end of this wing.
The 1920 extensions to the left and at the rear include a glazed conservatory and a single-storey billiard room, all constructed in a matching style. At the left end of the main front, there is a flat-roofed porch in a classical style, featuring a parapet with an urn finial, a round-headed panelled door in a moulded arch with a keystone and imposts, approached by stone steps with solid balustrades.
Internally, the ground floor room at the right end has one moulded beam and three deep chamfered ceiling beams, along with 18th-century dado panelling. In the 20th-century section, some re-used ceiling beams can be found. On the first floor, a small room used as a bathroom features 18th-century bolection moulded panelling, a cornice, and a fireplace surround. A room at the west end has a segmental curved ceiling and an 18th-century fireplace surround.
