Middleton Hall

Middleton Hall is a country house, now divided into five units, built in 1871 for Colonel Leather, with a west wing added in 1925. The building is constructed of rock-faced stone and features a graduated Lakeland slate roof. It has an irregular plan and is designed in the Tudor style, standing two to three storeys high with eight irregular bays.

The third bay features balustraded steps leading to a six-panel, two-leaf door with a fanlight, set within a porch that has heavily rusticated columns, a dentil cornice, and a parapet topped with a semicircular pediment bearing a cartouche, flanked by obelisk finials. The cross-gabled flanking bays project slightly from the wall face and contain large mullioned and transomed windows with four-centred heads. The projecting left bay includes a canted bay window with a pierced parapet and similar windows. The steeply pitched gabled roofs are finished with flat coping and ball finials, while tall ridge and end stacks feature two, three, and four conjoined octagonal shafts. The lower west wing is designed in a similar style.

The interior has not been seen but is said to have largely contemporary fittings. The west wing was remodelled internally around 1935 using materials from Haggerston Castle.
