Description
The Red Lion Public House is a public house dating from the early to mid 18th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with some ashlar dressings and features roofs made of Welsh slate and Stonesfield slate, along with brick stacks. The building has a three-unit layout with a rear outshut and subsidiary ranges, standing two storeys plus an attic.
The main range has five windows, with a symmetrical three-window arrangement on the left that includes a central door, flanked by three-light casements and two-light windows on the first floor. The two-window section on the right has similar windows and a blocked door. All openings are topped with ashlar flat arches that have projecting blocks. The roof features stacks located to the right of centre and on each gable, as well as three hipped roof dormers.
At each end, there are slightly lower stone-slated bays that contain some flat-arched openings, including an old plank door on the right. To the extreme left, there is a single-storey, slated two-window range that is likely from the 19th century. The rear of the main roof is stone-slated and extends over the rear outshut.
