Middleton House And Cottage Adjoining To West

Middleton House and the adjoining cottage to the west are now combined into one building. Middleton House dates from the mid-18th century, while the cottage is from the late 17th century and has undergone later alterations. The structure is made of rubble with pantile roofs, and Middleton House is rendered with stone slates at the eaves. It has two storeys and features three bays on the left for Middleton House and two bays for the cottage on the right.

The openings of Middleton House have ashlar surrounds, with a central six-panel door below an overlight featuring decorative glazing bars. The ground floor has sash windows with glazing bars, and the first floor has smaller unequally-hung nine-pane sash windows. The building has shaped kneelers and ashlar coping, with brick end stacks. The cottage to the right has openings with deep stone lintels, a central part-glazed door, and four-pane sash windows, which are smaller on the first floor. There are brick stacks to the right of the first bay and at the end right, the latter being external.

Inside, Middleton House has spit irons in the ceilings of the front and rear ground-floor rooms to the right of the door. The original plan of the cottage remains intact, featuring large fireplaces in both ground-floor rooms; the left room has a cast-iron kitchen range, while the right room has a reckon. In the left room, there is a 17th-century stencilled wall painting on plaster. The cottage's colour-wash is a traditional yellow ochre-coloured earth dye, a limestone derivative obtained locally and mixed with tallow and lime to serve as a waterproofing agent for the rubble walls.
