Milton Farmhouse And Front Boundary Wall With Mounting Block

Milton Farmhouse is a 17th-century farmhouse, with possibly earlier fragments, located on the north side of Milton Lane. It features a near-ashlar ham stone construction and a double Roman clay tile roof, with a coped west gable and a plain east gable. The building has a complex plan and stands two storeys tall, with a south elevation comprising three bays. The windows are ovolo-moulded mullioned windows, with configurations of 4, 2, and 2 lights above, and 4 and 2 lights below. The third bay has a separate label, while the first bay has a continuous stepped label. The flat-arched doorway in the second bay features a Regency pattern part-glazed door.

There is a significant single-storey extension to the south of the east gable, which may incorporate features from the earlier part of the house. This extension includes a moulded single-light window under a hood in the west gable. Although the interior has not been seen, it is reported to have a four-panel ceiling with deep chamfered beams in the hall, and a camber-arched fireplace with a deep stone lintel, along with a matching stone doorway. A similar fireplace is found in the west room, with a smaller version in the room above. The roofs have been somewhat modified.

The farmhouse is accompanied by a boundary wall made of ashlar, extending from the south-west corner for about 6 meters before returning to meet the south-east extension. This wall stands about 1.5 meters high on average and features curved upsweeps at the ends, a corner, and a gateway opposite the door, which has urn finials. There are 20th-century wrought-iron gates that lead up two steps to the entrance, and against the south gable of the extension, there is a five-step mounting block.
