This handsome grade II listed Georgian property is situated in the centre of the delightful old market town of Middleham in Wensleydale, famous as the premier northern centre for the training of racehorses who pass the house each day on their way to the gallops on the nearby moors.
Milton House was built around the 1760's and the entrance front was replaced by the present very striking design in the early 19th century, indeed Pevsner mentions the house by name in his account of the town in his North Yorkshire volume of " The Buildings Of England ".
The interior retains many original 18th century features including the generously proportioned staircase with it's huge semicircular headed window at the turn looking directly into the gate to Middleham's dramatic castle ruin. The main rooms are spacious with high ceilings and original covings. The ground floor front rooms have the original wooden folding shutters. A delightful small conservatory adds a pleasant space in the south facing rear yard.
The cellar boasts a well, and two large flagged rooms which originally had windows at street level now hidden behind the raised front garden. The cellar maintains a perfect temperature for the storage of wine in all seasons.
