Description
Vale House is an 18th-century, three-story brick building with an ashlar stone projecting plinth and a moulded stone cornice with modillions returned around the corners. It has a plain brick parapet with stone coping and a hipped roof covered in old tiles. The building has five windows on the upper floors and four windows and a central door on the ground floor. All windows feature fluted and reeded stone keystones and moulded stone cills; the ground floor windows have shutters, each with three flush panels. The central entrance is a recessed eight-panel door with an arched fanlight of radiating ovals, bordered by engaged Roman Doric columns on moulded plinths, a broken triglyph entablature, and an open modillion pediment. A rainwater head dated 1782 is also present.
The interior contains a good staircase with a moulded swept handrail, scrolled spandrels, plain balusters, and newel posts consisting of a cluster of four turned and moulded shafts. Two fireplaces of quality exist within the property.
Vale House, along with numbers 44 to 74 (even) and 78 to 82 (even), forms a notable architectural grouping.
