Description

Milton House, also known as the Whip Inn, is a restaurant, coffee shop, and café located in Malton. The building at No.4 Market Place dates back to possibly the 18th century and was extensively remodeled in the late 19th century. The structure is made of coursed rubble stone with some alterations in mottled brick, featuring a moulded and cogged brick eaves cornice and an ashlar doorcase. The roof has coped gables and shaped kneelers, with ball and pedestal finials on the roof kneelers. It has a pantile roof with brick stacks positioned at the right end, right of center, and center left.

No.20 Market Street, likely built in the mid-18th century, has undergone 19th-century alterations. This building is constructed of rendered brick that is incised to resemble ashlar, also topped with a pantile roof. The front of No.4 Market Place has two storeys and an attic, with four bays. The centre left features a pedimented doorcase with a glazed door and overlight, flanked by cross-windows in brick surrounds with cambered arches and ashlar cornice hoods. At the right end, a former shop front made of brick slightly projects, featuring segment-arched openings on pilasters beneath a moulded cornice, which includes a half-glazed door and overlight, along with two tall transomed windows. Above the shop front, there is a cross-window in a gabled half-dormer, and to the left, three cross-windows with stone sills in brick surrounds. In the attic, there are two gabled dormers with cross-windows.

The right return has a two-storey, one-window gable wall, with a three-light window on the ground floor and a two-light window on the first floor, both in surrounds similar to the former shop front on the Market Place elevation. The front of No.20 Market Street has two storeys and one window, featuring a 20th-century glazed door and a blocked overlight in a segment-arched opening on the left. The altered shop front on the right has plain pilasters, a bowed fascia, and a moulded cornice on grooved consoles, containing triple four-pane sashes with stone sills over a stone riser. The first-floor window is a four-pane sash with a painted stone sill, and there is a cogged brick eaves course.
