Description
Red Roofs is a house, which was later converted into two cottages, dating from the 16th century and built in two phases. The structure is timber framed and plastered, with a pantiled roof. It has two storeys and consists of a single long range divided into two sections, with the roof of the right section slightly higher. The windows are scattered and mainly consist of mid-20th century casements, although there are some original mullioned windows, primarily in the left range. There is a mid-20th century boarded entrance door and a gabled open porch. An axial stack is located at the junction of the two ranges, with a later external stack on the right gable end. The interior has not been examined.

Red Roofs sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 88% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 27 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 71% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
