Description
The Old Red House is a house dating from the 17th century, with an early 18th century refronting and some minor alterations from the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick, featuring gauged brick and stone dressings, a stone plinth, and a moulded eaves cornice. The roof is plain tile, set behind brick coped parapets, with brick gable stacks and stone coped gables. The house has three storeys and five bays.
The central entrance features a 20th century glazed panelled door, which is set below a flat gauged brick arch with a stone keystone. To the south of this door is a narrow glazing bar sash, also under a flat arch. To the north of the central door are two additional glazing bar sashes, both under flat arches with stone keystones. On the upper floors, there are five similar glazing bar sashes above the central door, and above those, five more shallower but similar sashes.
Inside, the ground floor has timber stud partitions and a small amount of 17th century panelling in the hall.
