Description
Autumn Vale is a villa that has been converted into a rest home, built in 1853 by T.E. Owen. The building is stuccoed and features a Welsh slate roof with rendered stacks on both the left and right sides. It has two storeys and a basement, with a total of three bays, although the third bay is blind.
At the center of the facade, there are four steps leading up to a porch that has a round-arched opening and a timber pediment supported by brackets. The porch contains a recessed two-leaf panelled door. To the left of the porch is a slightly projecting tripartite casement window, which has a projecting timber fascia and a hipped lead roof. On the right side, flanking the projecting stack, are narrow round-headed casement windows.
A moulded sill band runs across the first floor, where there is a six-pane sash window on the left and a four-pane sash window in the center. Both of these windows are set beneath slightly projecting flat rendered arches with rusticated strips. The building features overhanging eaves and facing gables on the center and right bays.
The right return of the building is two bays wide and has two projecting tripartite casements similar to those on the front, along with two six-pane sash windows on the first floor. The left return has two facing gables, each with a stack at the center. The interior has not been inspected.
