The Red House

The Red House is an early 19th-century house made of red brick, featuring a hipped slate roof. It has a three-storey double-pile plan with a single-storey block at the rear. The south elevation has a three-window arrangement, with French windows and wood valances on the ground floor, and sash windows with glazing bars on the first and second floors. A central Roman Doric stone porch with fluted columns, pilasters, and a frieze decorated with wreaths leads to a three-panel door, which is flanked by sidelights and topped with a semi-circular fanlight that has decorative glazing bars. There are brick bands at the first and second floor levels and a bracketed eaves cornice. The house has two red brick multiple ridge stacks. The rear block is designed in the Gothic Revival style, featuring ogee-headed tripartite leaded windows and an embattled parapet. The interior is rather plain.
