Sandwell

Harberton House is a country house dating to around 1830, with an extension added around the early 20th century. The original structure is built of stuccoed stone rubble, with a roughcast rear, while the extension is of brick. It has a low-pitched, hipped Welsh slate roof with paired brackets to the deep eaves soffit, lead rolls to the hips, and rendered chimney stacks. A red brick stack is present on the early 20th century extension. The house is planned around a square layout, with a central entrance and stair hall, principal rooms to either side, and service rooms to the rear. An early 20th century addition extends the south front elevation in a similar style.

The south front has a 2:1:2 bay arrangement, with the centre bay slightly advanced and a hipped roof above. It features a central porch with two pairs of Tuscan columns and a rebuilt timber entablature, panelled and glazed double doors and panelled reveals. Original sash windows, some with glazing bars, are present throughout. The ground floor features tall 15-pane sashes with low sills, while the first floor has 12-pane sashes to the left and right and a wider 16-pane sash in the centre. A band runs at the first floor level, continuing over the early 20th century extension, which replicates the style and includes continuous bracketed eaves and sash windows with glazing bars; the centre ground floor window is a garden casement. The west elevation is symmetrical with a 1:2:1 bay arrangement, with the left and right bays slightly advanced. The first floor has 12-pane sashes, while the ground floor right has a 15-pane sash, with the other ground floor windows being garden casements.

Adjoining the north east is a small service wing with a square plan and a pyramid slate roof, featuring four tiers of pigeon holes on the first storey with slate flint ledges. A timber mullion window with circa early 19th century casements and glazing bars, likely reused, is positioned on the ground floor. This wing is linked to the rear of the east side by a short range with a lower roof.

The interior retains much of its early 19th century character, including a geometric staircase in a rounded stairwell with an oval lantern. The staircase features stick balusters and a wreathed handrail, with a moulded plaster cornice to the stairwell and hall. Original joinery, such as panelled doors, moulded door architraves, panelled window shutters, and wainscoting, largely survives. Moulded plaster cornices and ceiling centrepieces are also present. A rear room has a moulded cornice with an acanthus and guilloche frieze and a wooden chimneypiece with urns and festoons. The early 20th century east wing has an early 20th century chimneypiece with niches flanked by Ionic pilasters.
