Description

Mill Vale House is a detached house built in the 1770s, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It features Flemish bond brickwork and a Welsh slate roof with gable end brick stacks. The building consists of two parallel ranges and is two storeys high with three windows across the front. The central entrance has a 4-panelled door set in a stone architrave, topped by a flat stone hood supported by brackets. On either side of the door are 12-pane sash windows with 'horns'. The first floor has three additional 12-pane sashes. There is a moulded stone eaves cornice and a brick blocking course, which is said to be from the 20th century, along with ceramic ridge cresting on the roofs.

The right side of the house shows earlier brickwork at the footings, with some blocked segmental-headed openings and sash windows on both the ground and first floors. The rear of the house, partly constructed in rubble stone, features a segmental-headed planked door with a 20th-century portico, a 16-pane sash window to the left, and a 20th-century casement window to the right. On the first floor, there are two 12-pane sashes and one 16-pane sash.

Inside, the central hall contains a staircase with stick balusters and a moulded handrail. The doors have six fielded panels set in reeded or fluted architraves. Mill Vale House was originally built as the miller's residence, located next to the remains of the woollen mill established by Thomas Jarvis around 1807.
