Description
Red House Farmhouse is a farmhouse that was built as part of Home Farm for the Thornham Estate in the mid-18th century. It was extended in the 19th century and altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with flared headers and features a hipped plain-tiled roof. It has a five-bay lobby entrance plan with two wings at the rear that form a half H shape. The farmhouse is two storeys tall with attics.
On the ground floor, there is a central entrance that features a projecting 20th-century brick porch with an eight-panelled door. Tall two-light glazing bar casements are set in shallow reveals with segmental heads. The building has an offset plinth and a continuous plat band at the first floor level, which includes four two-light glazing bar casements and a central leaded cross casement. The eaves are boxed, and there is a central ridge stack.
The three-bay returns have mixed casements; on the left side, there are French windows, a first-floor lattice leaded window, and a two-light box dormer. On the right side, there is a 20th-century entrance with a half-glazed architraved door. At the rear, there are three gables, with the taller outer gables featuring moulded kneelers and coped parapets. There is an internal end stack on the left, and the central gable has a 19th-century infill block with recessed segmental-headed sashes and a lower pantiled roof, with a stack in the left valley.
Inside, the farmhouse features ogee stop-chamfered cross axial binding beams and run-out chamfered joists.
