Description
Vale House is a detached house built around 1840, constructed from ashlar and coursed rubble limestone, with ashlar chimneys and a Welsh slate roof. It has three storeys and a cellar, featuring a double pile plan. The west front has a three-window arrangement, with all windows being 4-pane sashes that have moulded architraves and bracketed sills, which decrease in height towards the upper floor. The central doorway is fitted with a later 19th-century door and is framed by an Ionic porch that has a low pitched roof and a blocking course. There are plain bands at the middle and upper floor levels, and the parapet is designed as a classical entablature with a blocking course.
On the south side, which faces the street, there are two 4-pane sash windows in plain openings, with the same bands and parapet design carried over from the front. The cellar storey is made of coursed punched rubble, and there is a central chimney on the parapet with a moulded cap. The north side of the house is built into a bank and features a central doorway on the upper floor, with two chimneys mounted on the eaves and no parapet. At the rear, a screen wall connects to a lean-to outbuilding. The interior has not been inspected.
