Description
The Red Lion Inn is an inn that dates from the 17th century or earlier. It features a timber-framed and plastered structure with a painted and plastered brick plinth. The building includes 19th-century flint with gault brick dressings and has plain tiled roofs. There is a large red brick ridge stack, a reduced stack on the right side, and a side stack on the left. The inn is two storeys high and has a double pile plan, with a rear range and two jettied gabled ranges to the west. A 19th-century lean-to is located to the north, which serves as the main entrance.
The exterior includes two oriel windows with brick bases that were originally moulded at the cill, along with 20th-century casement windows. The plastered jetty is supported by curved jetty brackets. On the first floor, there are two nine-paned hung sash windows.
