DESCRIPTION
Milford is a charming Georgian residence sitting on its own 15 acres in a peaceful country location surrounded by beautiful mature trees and well off the country road. The house is approached by a long avenue, which splits into two, the front avenue sweeps around the boundary over a bridge through woodland and eventually to the front of the house, while the back avenue leads into the walled courtyard and the rear wing.



The accommodation is laid out with 3 storeys over garden level with wing to the rear, which is believed to be much older dating backing 300 years.  The residence is approached by a flight of stone steps, which lead into an impressive hall with two principle reception rooms off.  The reception rooms and bedrooms are all graciously proportioned with bright spacious accommodation. The house has many Georgian features such as beautiful corniced ceilings, recessed sash windows with shutters, panelled doors with panelled surrounds, amongst others. The house also benefits from having lovely outlooks over the mature trees and gardens. To the rear is a walled courtyard, which has two cottages and a number of useful stone coach houses and stables with lofts above. The property is in need of renovation.
