Old Saddlers The Red House

Old Saddlers, also known as The Red House, is a Grade II listed building located on the north side of High Street in Bassingbourn-cum-Kneesworth. This structure consists of two dwellings, which were originally three, and included a shop that divided a single dwelling. It dates back to the 16th century, with later jettied extensions from the late 16th or 17th century, along with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries.

The building is timber-framed and plastered, featuring 20th-century pargetted panels that replaced earlier 17th-century geometric patterned pargetting. The ground floor is made of red brick and is plastered with applied timber decoration. The roof is plain tiled and has three red brick stacks. The building is two storeys high and runs parallel to the street, showcasing a long jetty and a single-storey gable extension to the east.

There are blocked shop windows and two doorways, with a garage door added to the west. The building has 19th and 20th-century doors and five casement windows on both the first and ground floors, which vary in size and feature glazing bars and leaded lights in wooden casements. The interior has been altered, but some chamfered ceiling beams remain exposed.
