Redlyn

Redlyn is a house that was formerly the Red Lion public house. It dates from the late 17th century, as indicated by a cast iron fireback inscribed with 'CR 1674'. The building features a timber-framed rear wing added later. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with dark headers and has steep old red tile roofs. The southern end and the rear wing are roughcast.

The house is two storeys tall with attics and has a two-cell plan with end chimneys, facing east. It has catslide rear outshuts flanking a gabled three-storey stair turret. The symmetrical east front includes a high stucco plinth, a floor band, and a moulded wooden eaves cornice with modillions arranged in a pattern over three upper openings. There are internal gable chimneys and gable parapets with moulded brick corbelled kneelers.

On the roof slope, there are two hipped dormers featuring eaves cornices and two-light casement windows. The flush box sash windows have 8/8 panes. Access to the house is via four steps leading up to a central raised and fielded six-panel door, which has the top two panels glazed. This door is framed heavily and topped with a late 17th-century heavy shell hood supported by carved cantilever brackets. Each chimney has a tall narrow recess near the top.

Inside, the house features a closed-string staircase with turned balusters and a splat balustrade leading to the attic landing. The interior includes heavy cross-beams and open fireplaces at the southern end, which have swept rear corners. At the northern end of the ground floor, there is a large open fireplace with seats, niches, an iron fireback, and a timber-framed chimney breast. Above this, the chamber has a rectangular fireplace with a bar and ogee stops on the chamfered ceiling cross-beam.

There is a later kitchen with a chimney in the northwest rear outshut. The rear wing has a low ground floor that is partly below ground level, a west gable chimney, and a lofty upper room that is said to have once served as a library and meeting room. This rear wing appears to be a three-bay late 17th-century barn that was rebuilt in the 18th century. Inside, the timbering is exposed, featuring jowled posts and a three-bay clasped-purlin roof with inclined queen-struts to the collars.
