Description
Red House is a farmhouse dating from the late 18th century, with earlier work at the rear. It is constructed of red brick with tuck pointing and features a flat parapet, which has been rebuilt, along with a hipped roof covered in glazed black pantiles. The rear section is likely timber framed but is now encased in red brick. The building has three windows with inset sashes that have glazing bars, all set under flat brick arches. The central window on the first floor is semi-circular arched and has traceried glazing bars. The entrance features a six-panel door with a semi-circular fanlight that has radial glazing bars, along with panelled reveals and a pilastered doorcase topped with a pedimented dentil cornice, which is broken over the fanlight. Attached to the house are matching screen walls that curve forward towards the road. Each wall has a pier topped with a stone pineapple and a semi-circular arched doorway with a boarded door, after which the wall ramps down to a lower level.
