Description
Milford Hall is a small, two-storey and attic country cottage house, dating from the mid-19th century. It originally comprised three windows, with later single-storey hipped wings added to either side. The walls are constructed of English garden wall bond brick, with the front and side elevations rendered in stucco. The roof is slate, with gently pitched, shouldered gabled parapets, and includes sympathetic modern dormers. Corniced caps and necking bands are present on the stuccoed end stacks. The building has an eaves cornice and a leaded blocking course.
The central bay projects forward, featuring a small, multi-paned round arched sash window topped by a small open pediment. The first-floor windows are 12-pane sashes, set within shouldered architraves, with a moulded flat hood above the centre window and pediments flanking it. A continuous sill band and brackets to the architraves are also present. Mid-19th century canted bays have been added to the ground floor, incorporating French windows with side bar glazing. An iron trelliswork porch shelters partly glazed double doors. Attic windows are visible in the gable ends, and shouldered architraves feature on the later hipped wings. A French window is present in the left wing, with two further French windows on its flank. An architrave is pierced by a later inserted attic window above a 12-pane sash window on the right wing.
A rear extension juts out from the centre of the rear elevation, featuring 12-pane sash windows with gauged brick voussoirs. A corbelled eaves cornice is visible. A 19th-century gabled dormer is on the left, and a large modern dormer is on the right. The flanking wings have been extended to the rear with hipped roofs and sash windows.
The interior includes a good contemporary staircase, panelled doors, window splays, and plaster cornices. A large 19th-century hearth is located in the kitchen at the rear.
