The Red House

The Red House is a late 18th-century building that has been converted into offices. It features red brick construction with a shallow-pitched hipped slate roof, deep boarded eaves, and brick stacks. The house stands three storeys tall and has a sill band at the first-floor windows, along with a string course that defines the frieze at the front. The building has five bays, with the central bay slightly projecting forward. The windows have gauged flat heads, with 12-pane sashes on the ground and first floors, and 6-pane sashes on the second floor. The central entrance is adorned with an open pediment and engaged Doric columns, featuring panelled reveals and a 20th-century door with a barred segmental fanlight. Inside, the original ceiling mouldings and woodwork on the ground floor appear largely intact, and there is an open well staircase with a moulded handrail. To the right, there is a single-bay wing that is lower in height; it lacks a sill band or string course, but the windows are similar, except for the first-floor window opening, which has been lengthened to fit a 15-pane sash.
