Description
Red Lion Cottage is a 17th-century house located on Bovingdon Green. It is constructed of painted brick and features a steep old red tiled roof. The building is large, with two storeys and attics, and has five windows along its west-facing façade. There are two flat-topped dormers in the roof slope, a string course, and segmental arches above the ground floor windows, which are fitted with two-light flush casements. At the south end of the ground floor, there is a 20th-century hipped-roofed porch and a pentagonal bay window. The cottage has a large external gable chimney with offsets at each end and a lean-to extension on the north end. The rear outshut is dark weatherboarded and features a catslide roof with a hipped dormer.
