Description

The Red Lion Hotel is a house that has been converted into a hotel. It dates from the late 17th century and was refronted around 1840. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a mid-19th century stucco front. It features a gabled concrete tile roof and has a late 17th century ridge stack made of stone with brick flues. The plan form is unclear, and the building has two storeys with a six-window range. There are plank doors leading to a carriage entry on the right, and 20th century doors with 19th century flat hoods to the right of the centre and to the left. The windows have flat rendered arches over 8-pane sashes, which include a plate-glass replacement on the ground floor to the left, as well as a 20th century ground-floor window. Inside, there are chamfered and cased beams, but the first floor has not been inspected.
