Description
The Red House is a house dating from the early 18th century, constructed of brick in Flemish bond with a storey-band. It features a sandstone plinth, a moulded eaves cornice, and coped gables on kneelers. The roof is plain-tiled with a brick ridge and end stacks. The house has a 3-unit plan, standing two storeys plus an attic, and displays a three-window range of 12-pane sash windows to the centre and right, with canted bays featuring 12-pane sashes to the left. Above the door, there is a tympanum with an 18th-century lunette in the attic. To the right, there is a small 19th-century range that is one storey with an attic, which includes a 12-pane sash window and a gabled dormer. A 20th-century one-storey range is located at the far right. At the rear, there is a long two-storey brick extension from the 19th century that has 2-light and cross casements, along with a four-panelled door.
Inside, the house is noted for its large open fireplace with a moulded wood surround and a moulded, dentilled cornice. There is panelling in the room to the right of the door up to dado level, a boxed spine beam, and six-panelled doors. In the room to the left of the door, there is a moulded spine beam and cornice.
