Description
Red House Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dated 1673 on the lintel and 1931 on the right gable, with alterations likely made in 1931. The building is constructed of brick, mostly pebble-dashed, with some areas featuring scored render, all finished with a tiled roof. It has a three-bay baffle-entry plan, with a projecting porch at the junction of the second and third bays, a projecting gabled wing (probably from the 19th century) to the first bay, and a continuation of a small bay on the main axis to the left.
The farmhouse is two storeys high, featuring a two-storey gabled porch aligned with the ridge chimney. The porch has a scored render front and an open segmental-headed outer doorway with a large lintel inscribed in relief with "B I M 1673". Inside the porch, there are wooden side benches, blocked peep holes in the sides, a studded inner door with strap hinges and a moulded wooden surround, and a three-light chamfered mullion window on the first floor.
To the right of the porch, there is a five-light window at ground floor and two- and three-light windows above, all with small lights and flush mullions, pebble dashed, and with labels. To the left, there is a similar five-light window on the first floor and a large three-light casement at ground floor. The gable of the wing has two large 19th-century windows on each floor, with the first-floor windows being cross-windows with sliding sashes, and there is a chimney on the side wall.
The right gable features mullioned windows similar to those at the front: three lights at ground floor, three lights at first floor (with a datestone reading "A.D. 1931" between these), and four lights in the attic. The continuation at the left end is of less interest, but the rear of this and the adjoining bay have two-light cellar windows with chamfered mullions. The interior has not been inspected but is understood to contain back-to-back inglenook fireplaces with bressummers, moulded beams in the housepart, chamfered beams in the third bay, and a panelled service door at the lower end of the housepart.
