Description
Vale House is a house dating from the late 18th century, with an early 19th-century extension. It is constructed from squared roughly-tooled stone and features tooled-and-margined quoins on the extension, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The main part of the house is two storeys high and has three symmetrical bays. The central entrance has a renewed door with an overlight above, and there is a 12-pane sash window above the door. The flanking bays each contain tripartite sash windows. A moulded cornice with a blocking course runs along the top, and the gables are coped with stepped-and-corniced end stacks.
To the right, there is a one-storey, one-bay extension that has a similar tripartite sash window and moulded brackets at the eaves. The right gable is also coped and features a stepped-and-corniced end stack. All openings have raised panels above, creating the appearance of wedge lintels, and all sashes have been renewed except for the one in the extension. At the far left, there is an attached pier with a moulded capital and ball finial, which connects to a short dwarf quadrant wall with raised coping and plain railings.
