The exterior is cement-faced, with a moulded wooden eaves cornice beneath a high-pitched, tiled roof. On the first floor, there are some cast iron casements alongside some restored leaded casements. The ground floor has three modern doors alternating with three renewed windows, and there is a carriageway to the right. The rear elevation displays two steep gables. The Lower Red Lion is part of a group that includes Nos 24 to 46 (even) and Nos 50 to 54 (even).

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
