Description
Red House Cottage is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the early 18th century. It is timber framed and plastered, with 20th-century panelled plasterwork on the front. The roof is pantiled, with glazed black tiles to the front slope. The house has two storeys and an attic and features two windows with 19th-century small-paned casements. A doorway to the right has a four-panelled door, a rectangular fanlight, and a bracketed flat hood. An internal stack exists, with the external portion of the shaft now removed. Some 16th-century framing is visible on the upper floor. The walls were raised by approximately one metre in the early 18th century. The north end of this range was rebuilt as Red House (listed separately).
