Description

The Red Lion Inn is a farmhouse or inn that now operates as a public house. It dates from the 17th century and has undergone later alterations and 20th-century additions. The building features white-painted roughcast on brick with a slate roof and has a long single-depth plan, along with additional 20th-century structures at the rear. It stands two low storeys high and has six windows. The ground floor has doorways and windows arranged in the pattern of window-window-door-window-window-window-door-window, with the doorways being plain and featuring 20th-century weatherboards. There is also a 20th-century toilet window at the right-hand end. All other windows on both floors are 3-light horizontal sliding sashes with small panes. Inside, the ceilings are low and there are three roughly-chamfered 17th-century beams: one lateral beam in the room at the south end and two longitudinal beams in the central room.
