Description

The Red Lion Public House is a hall house that dates back to the mid-15th century, with alterations made in the early 17th century, 19th century, and late 20th century. The building features a combination of painted brick and mostly timber framing with brick infill, topped with old tiled gabled roofs that are lower at the rear. It has an L-plan layout consisting of six framed bays at the back, with the former hall located within the second and third bays. There is an internal jetty in the end bay on the southeast side. The front section has been rebuilt in brick with a cross gable, and there is one framed bay adjoining on the northeast side, which has a yard entry that is now a public footpath.

The building is two storeys high, with a cellar and attic. There are two 17th-century inserted chimneys near the ridge within the second and third bays, along with one 19th-century chimney on the east roof slope at the rear and another similar chimney on the southeast end gable. The 19th-century gabled front features cusped bargeboards, a two-light casement window in the attic, and a large three-coupled sash window at the first floor, both with segmental heads. The ground floor has a 19th-century wooden public house front with two large windows in the centre, flanked by two pairs of half-glazed entry doors that are now disused. The front also has raised panelling throughout and a fascia with a moulded cornice. The yard entry features large scowled posts and heavy floor joists exposed to the room above.

The southwest front displays exposed timber framing with brick infill and scattered casements. Inside, much of the frame is exposed, showcasing large joists, jowled posts, and curved braces. The timbers in the roof over the former hall show signs of soot.
