Mostyn House, 42, Vale Streetis an early-mid eighteenth-century brick-built, three-storey house of the Mostyn Family, now with a later stucco parapet façade of raised quoins, continuous sills, lugged architraves and keystones to openings. It has an'L' shape plan of central entry and stair type, flanked by reception rooms with a kitchen to rear. The elegant well-stair has ramped and moulded handrail, turned balusters with fluted and turned newel-posts and corresponding moulded wall panel and dado rail. There is a fine panelled room at the first floor. The stair rises between cross-walls supporting a purlin roof. A stone stair descends to a brick-built, barrel- vaulted cellar. The building has suffered from twentieth-century shop front insertions and the removal of its stair at the ground floor.
