Milford House

Milford House is a group of simple classical buildings with scribed render fronts, featuring plinths and rusticated quoins at Nos 8 and 9. No 5 extends out to the left over Drury Lane and has three windows plus one window wide, while Nos 6 to 9 are two windows wide. The buildings have slate roofs with wide boarded eaves and a mix of three rubble and two cement render chimney stacks.

The first floor of No 5 has 12-pane sash windows, while No 6 and the right side of No 8 also feature 12-pane sash windows. Nos 7 and 9 have 4-pane sash windows, and No 5 has 5-light sash windows on the ground floor. There is a two-storey splayed bay to the left of No 8 with sash glazing, and a three-light window to the ground floor left of No 9 with segmental heads.

The doorways have distinct features: No 5 has a rusticated doorway with a voussoir lintel, while Nos 6 to 8 have lugged architraves with ornamental keystones, and No 9 has a plain architrave with a keystone. The doors include six-panel designs with fanlights for Nos 5 to 8, and a four-panel door for No 9.

No 5 is locally known as the ‘Stamp House’ and was undergoing renovation at the time of inspection in September 1985. The buildings have group value.
