Description
Vale Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse that features a timber frame and plastered exterior, topped with a plain tiled roof. The building stands two storeys tall and has a now disused attic, following a two-cell plan with a lobby entrance. Many of the original moulded mullion windows have been revealed, alongside some later three-light mullion and transom casement windows. At the southwest corner, there is a 19th-century gabled porch with a semi-circular headed boarded door. Inside, there is a notable central internal stack with a sawtooth pattern; its base showcases moulded brickwork and two square inset panels to the north that retain remnants of rusticated plaster surrounds. The timber frame is exposed within the interior, which also includes some original internal doors and floorboarding, as well as a very shallow arched fireplace on the ground floor.
