Description

Mile End House is a two-storey house with four bays, located in an informal terrace. The three bays on the left form the main house, while the single bay on the right features a carriage entry. It has a slate gabled roof and stuccoed chimneys at each end of the main dwelling, with boxed eaves. The facade is painted stucco, showcasing long and short quoins on both sides and evidence of short quoins between the house and the right bay. There is a painted stone plinth.

The main house has 12-pane hornless sash windows set in keyed, shouldered surrounds. The ground floor windows are larger and flank a recessed house door that is six-panel with fielded panels and matching panelled reveals. The door has a square head with a narrow elliptical-arched barred fanlight and fluted spandrels. The mid-19th century doorcase features a flat cornice supported by rich acanthus consoles, with a plain frieze in between and reeded piers. The right-hand side has a keyed elliptical arch for the vehicular entry below a 12-pane sash window, both lacking a moulded surround. A rear stable courtyard is accessible via the right-hand archway.

At the rear, there are two flat dormers and stair lights in the second bay, which rises higher under the sloping roof. All windows have panelled shutters, and the door surrounds feature reeded rounded piers and top pieces with corner rosettes. Inside, there are Victorian marble and wooden surrounds to the fireplaces, which include cast-iron grates, one of which has a cast-iron range. The staircase has a narrow open well, stick balusters, a thin ramped rail, and turned newels, reflecting a late Georgian style, extending up to the loft.
