Description

Ladhope Vale House is a later 19th-century building, dating from the 1860s. It is a three-storey and attic, seven-bay rectangular-plan warehouse and offices. The structure features squared and snecked buff sandstone on the Ladhope Vale side and whin rubble on the river elevation, with ashlar dressings. It is situated alongside the Gala Water, with a significant embankment on the Ladhope Vale side.

On the Ladhope Vale elevation, the building has a two-storey design with regular window spacing. The entrance is accessed through an elevated doorway that is topped with a pediment. There is a single-storey flat-roofed extension that projects from the outer right side.

The Gala Water elevation displays five bays of regular window spacing, with canted dormers on the right. To the right, there are two and three bays of irregular window spacing. The lower left features a square-headed opening with brick infill and a corbel-table above.

The windows are timber sash and case with various glazing patterns, and there is a single ridge stack. The interior has been largely modernized, with a steel internal structure on the upper floors.
