Description
The Red Cow Public House is a building dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with early to mid-19th century and 20th century details. It features a timber frame with plastered walls and a steeply pitched plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and attics, with three windows on the upper level; the left and right windows are 14/14-pane sashes, while the centre is blank. There is a replacement door set in a 19th century moulded wood frame, topped by a simple flat hood. At the rear, there is a full-height central projecting staircase tower that is connected to the stack at the top and includes a small casement window in the gable. Lean-to ranges are located on either side, with the northern range dating from the 18th century and featuring an external stack.
