Description

The Vale is a house dated 1837, constructed of rubble stone with an ashlar front. It features a hipped Welsh slate roof with deep eaves and two central ashlar stacks. The building is two storeys high and has a double front with three windows. There is a raised band between the storeys. The windows are set in moulded architraves with double keystones; the first-floor windows are 6/6 sashes, and there is a similar window to the left of the door on the ground floor. To the right, there is a late 19th-century rectangular bay window. The entrance has a Doric distyle porch that encloses a panelled door with a fanlight above.

Local climate

The Vale sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 81% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
