Description
The Red House is a farmhouse that was rebuilt around 1700. It features Flemish bond brickwork and a tiled roof. The building has two storeys, attics, and cellars, with a total of five bays. The central three bays are set forward and include a central entrance accessed by five steps, which is enclosed by an early 19th-century wrought iron porch topped with a swept zinc roof. The entrance has a margin glazed door with an overlight above it. There is a moulded stone string course and a brick moulded plinth. The windows are twelve-paned sash windows with nearly flush boxes and gauged brick lintels, while the cellar windows have segmental brick arches. The eaves are timber dentilled. The roof is hipped and features two dormers and external gable stacks with outstepping heads. To the right of the main structure is a two-bay rear wing built around 1740, which has a separate roof, a half-glazed door, and a plat band, although the ground floor windows were replaced in the 20th century. There is also a lean-to at the rear gable end. Inside, the house has a turned newel stair.
