Description
The Red Cow House is a 15th-century timber-framed building that was once an inn. It has been altered over time and now features two storeys and seven bays. The hipped tiled roof has an off-centre ridge chimney stack and one half-dormer. The outer bays are constructed of brick, while the inner bays are made of coursed ragstone, giving it the appearance of a hall house. The building has segmental brick arches above two and three-light casement windows, with modern external shutters on the two central windows. There are two blocked doors on the right and a blocked window on the left. A canted right angle includes a small window on each floor, and there are some recessed panels and blocked windows on the first floor. The Red Cow House, along with Copthall Cottage and Nos 1 to 4 Wolfe Cottages, forms a group.
