Description

Milton House is a mid to late 18th century, two-storey house that features an early 19th century wing, a porch, and a two-storey rear extension from the mid-19th century. The exterior is harled with painted ashlar dressings.

The west elevation showcases the 18th century house with three symmetrical, widely spaced bays. At the centre, there is a later porch that projects forward, complete with a blocking course and a tablet. The tripartite door is partly blocked, with a current door inserted in a window on the south return. Flanking bays contain windows, with the right window being enlarged, and there are small first-floor windows above each bay, positioned hard under the eaves.

To the left, there is a tall single-storey, two-bay extension featuring two tall windows. The north and south elevations are blank, while the east elevation has two gabled projections from the centre and right, extending two bays deep. There is also a further lean-to outbuilding at ground level.

The piend-roofed two-storey porch block is set in the north re-entrant angle and has two bays to the left with irregular windows. The house displays a variety of glazing patterns in its sash and case windows, including plate glass, lying-pane, and 12-pane styles. The end stacks are present, and the roof is covered with purple slates.
