Vale House

Vale House is a house, later used as a school, dating from the 1840s. It is rendered and has a slate roof. The house is three storeys high, with an attic storey, the second floor being set back behind a moulded cornice, topped by a parapet to the attic block, which features two casement windows. Chimneys are located on the left and right sides. The second floor has three round-headed sash windows with Y-tracery. The first floor has three wooden casement windows with half-mullions and transoms, set within moulded surrounds. The ground floor has two sash windows in moulded surrounds, and a central half-glazed door with an elliptical fanlight within a pilaster surround, leading up three steps.

The right return front has five bays, with four sashes on the ground and first floors, each featuring a scrolled shell pediment. There are four round-headed sashes on the second floor, all with a central blank panel. The attic storey is moulded into a large scrolled pediment, with the word "Vale" raised on a central panel.

The building’s name, Vale House, refers to the “Vale,” and further historical information regarding the Vale can be found in reference 12/389. It was likely built by William Saxby as part of James Creed Eddell's development scheme, undertaken between 1840 and 1850.
