The Red Cottage

The Red Cottage is a house dated 1842, designed by Benjamin Green for Thomas Barnes. It is constructed of red and grey brick with a roof made of plain and pan tiles, featuring much Tudor decoration. The building has an L-shaped plan with an entrance porch located in the angle. It stands two storeys high and has three bays. To the left of the entrance, there is a cross gable that contains a bay window with two double sashes, topped by a pierced parapet. Above this, there are two small Gothick windows. The entrance porch features a quatrefoil window in an arched recess, also with a pierced parapet. To the right of the entrance, there is a tripartite sash window with a single Gothick window above it, set under a gablet. The return side of the house has two casement windows on the first floor, which are adorned with rubbed and gauged brick lintels, and there is a decorated chimney stack. All original gables and front parapets are pierced with quatrefoils, and all gables have crow steps with roll-moulded copings. The property includes a later rear extension, and all chimneys are designed in the Tudor style.
