Description
Vale House is a late 17th-century house constructed of red brick, which is colourwashed and rendered, topped with a black and red pantiled roof. The building has two storeys with attics and features a lower two-storey extension to the west. It has a double fronted design with a central six-panel door that is framed by a shouldered architrave, a pulvinated frieze, and a pedimented porch. The house includes canted bays and sash windows with glazing bars, all featuring hipped roofs.
On the eastern side, there is a parapet gable with brick kneelers, an external stack, and an 18th-century wrought iron window with glass quarrys. The western gable has a bargeboard and an axial stack that adjoins a 19th-century range to the west, which has three windows with 19th-century casements and wrought iron lights. The western parapet gable also features an end stack. There is a later lean-to addition to the north, which is not of special interest. Inside, there is a winding stair leading to the first floor and attic, and the roof has staggered butt purlins.
