The Red House And Courtyard Walls

The Red House, along with its courtyard walls, is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is built of red brick in Flemish bond and features a plain tile roof. The house is two storeys high with an attic and has a symmetrical road front with five bays. At the center of the ground floor, there is a classical door surround that frames an eight-panel door, where the lower six panels are raised and fielded, and the upper two are glazed, all topped by a panelled pedimental surround. On either side of the door, there are 19th-century sash windows with two panes by two panes. The first floor has four similar windows, all featuring splayed brick heads, and there is a central arched sash window with ashlar springers and a keystone. The eaves cornice is dentilled.

There are three gabled dormer windows on the roof, each with lead flashing on the sides and sash windows with three panes by two panes. The left gable end has two sash windows on the ground floor and two blank windows on the first floor, separated by a band of bricks three courses deep. The dentilled eaves cornice continues across this front below the gable. To the left of this gable end, there is a two-storey wing with random fenestration at the rear. The right gable end is similar to the left.

Attached to either side of the entrance front are crescent-shaped forecourt walls approximately 3.5 meters high. The wall on the right ends in a roadside garage, while the wall on the left extends to form a garden wall about 15 meters long. The interior has not been inspected, but the property is reported to have a 16th-century core.
