Description

The Red Cow Public House is a building that dates from around 1600 and was originally a house before being converted into a public house. It features a timber frame with roughcast render and is topped with handmade red clay tiles. The structure has three bays facing south, with an axial stack located in the middle bay that creates a lobby entrance. There is also a rear wing with a later internal stack, resulting in a T-shaped plan.

To the right, there is a single-storey extension from the 18th or 19th century. The building is one storey high with attics. On the ground floor, there are two late 19th-century sash windows with six lights each, along with an early 19th-century sash window containing sixteen lights. The first floor features two 19th-century casement windows set in gabled dormers. The entrance includes a six-panel door with a shallow hood supported by profiled brackets, and a plain boarded door within a 20th-century timber porch.

The roof is half-hipped at both ends. Inside, there are jowled posts, stop-chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops, and plain joists that are horizontal in the left bay and square in the right bay. The building contains two large wood-burning hearths. The left ground-floor room showcases a dado of oak panelling from around 1600 and a panelled oak door of the same period, complete with cockshead hinges.
