Description
The Red Lion is an inn that dates from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, with a top floor added in the late 19th century. It features scored stucco with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The building has three storeys and four irregular bays, with two lower wings that project to the rear, along with a later 19th-century third range that also projects between the other two wings.
The façade includes two-leaf, four-panelled doors in the second and fourth bays, which have raised surrounds. There is a two-light window in the left bay, and in the third bay, there is a 19th-century two-storey square bay window featuring three-light mullioned windows with eight-pane sashes and a castellated parapet. The remaining windows are twelve-pane sash windows.
The roof is gabled with flat coping and has corniced ridge and end stacks. Inside, the bar area contains a large fireplace with a massive lintel and a very rough bressumer, likely from the 17th century. There are several other plain old fireplaces, including one on the first floor with the date 1671 scratched on it. Additionally, there is a two-panelled door on the first floor, and some parts of the house inside and to the rear have walls over three feet thick.
