Description

Milnfield is an early 19th century farmhouse that stands two storeys high and features three bays, along with later additions and a sunk basement. To the west, there is a courtyard steading built around 1830, which includes an apsidal horsemill. The entire structure is constructed from rubble with red ashlar dressings, and the roofs are covered with graded slates.

The house consists of two adjoining parallel ranges that share a common long wall, although the rear range may not be contemporary with the front. It has a double-pitch piended roof and a low rear wing. The eastern elevation features a gabled central porch, with basement windows linked to the base course. The windows above are margined, and there is an eaves and lintel band. Throughout the house, there are sash windows with 12-pane glazing and end stacks at both the front and back. The rear range is recessed on the northern flank, and a low wing adjoins the northern end of the western wall.

The steading includes a tall L-plan range with lofts that turns at the northeast corner, featuring a barn (horsemill) at the northern end, a two-bay cartshed, and a stable. Other ranges are single storey and detached, with a three-bay shed at the southeast built into the slope, which has a cartway at basement level.
