Lower Milton End Farmhouse

Lower Milton End Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the late 16th century. It was partially rebuilt in the 18th century after a fire and refronted in the 19th century. The structure features timber-framed square panels with brick infill on the east and west sides, resting on a clay stone plinth to the west and a rubble stone ground floor to the east. The remainder of the building is constructed from 18th and 19th-century brick, topped with a tile roof and brick stacks.

The main house is L-shaped, with a granary and cider house set back to the left, which includes a lean-to on the inside that connects to a single-storey range across the back, creating an open central courtyard. The main range has two storeys and an attic. The 19th-century front displays three windows, which are three-light wood casements under segmental heads. Two of these are on the ground floor, flanking a central four-panel door that leads into the courtyard.

The right-hand gable return features a very small four-pane window in the attic wool room, which contains early glass. The square-framed outer wall has two similar three-light casements towards the back on the first floor, and a long triple window below, with small paired casements between each vertical framing member and a moulded wood architrave applied to the top and sides, linking the three windows. The gable end to the south of this range is made of brick and has a chimney that possibly dates from the late 16th century, featuring twin diagonally-set square flues that have recently been repointed. The inner face of this gable has small unglazed timber windows for cheese rooms in the attic. The square framing on the left-hand return of the granary is smaller and only present on the top floor, above the cider room, which still contained much old cheese and cider-making equipment at the time of the survey in November 1985.
