Description
The Old Red Lion is a former public house that has been converted into a single dwelling. It was originally built in 1631 and underwent alterations in the 19th century, with further restoration and conversion for domestic use around 1974. The building features a timber-framed structure set on a stone plinth, with plastered panels and timber bargeboarded gables. It has a slate roof with rebuilt brick stacks.
The exterior is two stories high with a four-bay front, where the left end bay is jettied and gabled. The exposed framing includes 18 panels of small framing, with small angle braces at the gable and passing braces on the main facade. The door, located to the right of the center, is studded and divided into vertical panels by beads. The windows are timber mullioned, with some being flush and others slightly projecting, all featuring rectangular leaded glazing. A tablet under the eaves displays the inscription "I.B. M.B." along with the date.
Inside, the property retains exposed beams and ceiling joists, although it has been significantly adapted for modern use during the 1974 rehabilitation.
