Vale House is a Victorian residence of 94sq m (1,012sq ft) with loads of appeal.

Rooms are well proportioned and feature period fireplaces and original polished wooden floors combined beautifully with contemporary furniture and fittings.

The real attraction here though is the pretty private rear garden laid in stone paving and interspersed with gravel and planters . . . perfect for summer entertaining. There's also a decked area and a compact garden to the front of the property.

Inside, there is a reception hall, inner hall with timber panelled walls and ceiling, kitchen/breakfast room with simple Shaker style wall and floor units, sitting room, dining room with corner open fireplace, three bedrooms and main bathroom.

Vale House is close to shops and good public transport and is just a short stroll from The People's Park and the bank of the Dargle River.
