The Red House

The Red House is a house from the early 18th century that was enlarged in the mid 19th century. It is constructed of brick and has a plaster-rendered exterior with a steeply pitched tiled roof and end stacks, one of which has rebuilt upper courses. Originally, the house had a single range layout, but it now features a mid 19th-century parallel adjoining range at the rear, creating a double pile structure. The house has two storeys and an attic, with two gable dormers that contain horizontal sliding sashes with small panes. The symmetrical facade includes five flush frame hung sashes, each with sixteen panes. The central doorway is framed by a doorcase with a flat hood supported by C-scroll brackets. The ground floor windows are similar to those above but have segmental arches.

Inside, the layout consists of a narrower hall and stair bay flanked by the principal rooms. The staircase, which dates from the mid 19th-century addition, features an open string design with square section balusters and a toads-back mahogany rail. Two of the bedrooms are equipped with early to mid 19th-century cast-iron fireplaces.
