GV II
Formerly known as: Haber House Middleton. House. Mid C18 with later C19 refenestration and alterations. Brown brick in random English bond, hipped stone slated roof, rebuilt over left bay. 2 storeys, 3 bays, the central wide pedimented bay breaks forward but the left bay has been rebuilt with flush wall on left. Central wide glazed double door with glazing bars to fanlight, in pedimented surround. Fenestration: on the left a projecting bay window with glazed doors and a segmental-arched casement window above; glazing bars to round-arched window in pediment; the remaining windows are 4-pane sashes set into the original C18 openings and large stone sills and lintels inserted, those flanking the entrance have probably lowered sills. Small inserted window bay 3, first floor left. INTERIOR: extensive late C19 re-ordering but original through-corridor plan remains on 1st floor and the staircase has original fine knopped column-on-vase balusters to upper flight and landing. There is a barrel-vaulted cellar below the rear rooms. HISTORICAL NOTE: a detailed account of the house and occupants has been compiled by the current owners. The earliest reference, to 'Haber House' was in 1740 and it was probably built by William Fenton (1719-1774). Thomas Fenton had a survey made of the estate which included farm and outbuildings in 1757 and William's nephew William (1764-1837), a partner in the important Leeds engineering firm of Fenton, Murray and Wood, lived here. The house was used for Catholic services from about 1754 until 1776, with secret accommodation thought to have been in the roof. The Parnaby family bought the property in the mid C19 and extensive fish ponds in the area are thought to have been made for John Parnaby's fish farm; he was awarded a medal for his work by the French government in 1873.
