Description
Valley View House is a pair of houses built around 1754, with significant alterations in the late 19th century. The houses are constructed of machine-cut random limestone ashlar with a slate roof. The right-hand roof is hipped, and there are moulded chimney stacks to the right of the centre and at the rear right. The plan is double-depth, with a 20th-century wing added to the left.
The two-storey, attic-and-basement houses present a three-window front. A tall parapet features inverted semicircular dips flanking three large half-dormers. These dormers have moulded architraves, pulvinated friezes and cornices; the dormer on the right has a small segmental pediment in its centre. A cornice and parapet at attic sill level projects over a two-storey canted bay to the right. This bay is topped with a dentil cornice, while the parapet above the windows contains semicircular coved shell panels. Rusticated quoins are visible, and the windows are horned plate glass with moulded sills. The ground floor windows to the left are set within moulded architraves with keystones and blocks to the jambs, while the windows in the canted bay have carved panels above a ground floor cornice. To the left of the front, a three-light rectangular bay features a carved plaque of festoons and the letters "AD" within a balustraded parapet. The central four-panel bolection moulded door has an overlight, a matching architrave to the first-floor windows, a tall pulvinated frieze with a stepped keystone, and a cornice with a small segmental pediment.
The right return boasts a two-light half-dormer to the centre, similar to that at the front right. A similar window is visible to the centre of the first floor, flanked by oval windows. Two similar ground floor windows are present, and a pediment tops a 20th-century door in the centre. A rubblestone wall with worn rusticated quoins runs to the right, while the rendered rear displays fragments of moulded architraves to the first-floor windows (potentially originating from the 1754 building), a single-storey canted bay to the left, and a 20th-century wing to the right.
The interior has not been inspected. The houses were likely part of a larger property, originally including numbers 34 and 36 Belvedere, and were subsequently sub-divided.
