Description
The Red Lion Public House is a public house that dates from the 17th century or earlier, with an 18th-century brick casing on the ground floor front. The building features a painted brick rear outshut and red brick outbuildings. It has a steep old red tile roof that is hipped at the south end. This long, two-storey structure faces east along the roadside and has a very large external old red brick chimney at the north end, which has three diagonally set square shafts.
At the rear, there is a large lean-to extension with single-storey outhouses extending to the east-north-east from its north end. The west front has a roughcast first floor with plain margins and a drip above the brick ground floor, which has a black stuccoed sill. There are four windows on the first floor and three flush two-light casement windows with small panes on the ground floor, all featuring segmental arches. The building has half-glazed panelled doors, with one located between the right-hand pair of windows and another below the left-hand first-floor window. These doors have moulded surrounds with a full entablature and flat hoods supported by shaped brackets. Inside, there is a large internal chimney located about a third from the south end. The outhouses have been partly converted for use as pub accommodation, and there is a cellar entrance in the rear outshut.
