The Valley had a very good glasshouse and a formal English garden, of which there now remains a large front lawn and many mature English trees. It is one of few early station homesteads in Canterbury to have been built at one time, instead of growing by successive additions, and there have been few alterations. The present owners, Mr and Mrs T Bailey, live in the house.
