Milton House

Milton House is a house originally built for a mill owner in the early to mid-19th century, with later alterations. The exterior is pebble-dashed with ashlar dressings and features a roof made of graduated Lakeland slate. The building has two storeys and five symmetrical bays, with the central bay recessed. At the base, there is a stone plinth. The central doorway is set in a segmental-arched recess and features a door from around 1980, with small-pane glazing in the upper portion. The doorway is framed by an ashlar architrave with panelled pilasters, a frieze, a cornice, and a blocking course.

The tall ground-floor windows rise from the plinth and have unequally-hung 15-pane sash windows, with surrounds similar to the doorway but slightly less ornate. The first-floor windows, which sit on a sill band, are sash windows with glazing bars. The central window has an architrave like the doorway but includes a panelled frieze, while the other windows have plain stone surrounds. An eaves band features paired gutter brackets. The roof is hipped, with end stacks and one stack across the ridge at the center.

On the left side, the treatment continues with an inserted French window and a first-floor window. The rear and right returns are less detailed, featuring thinner stone surrounds with tiestones and plain gutter brackets at the eaves. The rear has three 2-pane sashes on the ground floor and two tall 8-pane sashes above.

Inside, the doors are made of six raised and fielded panels. The right-hand room on the ground floor has an acanthus-type cornice and trailing foliage on the ceiling frieze. The open-well staircase has an open string with square-section stick balusters and a curtail to the handrail. There is a decorative light rose on the landing, and the panelled reveals of the landing windows are supported by consoles. In the right-hand ground-floor room, the original door and wall recess architraves feature lions' heads in the top corners.
