Description
The Red House is a house dated 1778, constructed of red brick with stone dressings. It features a plain-tiled mansard roof with stone slate verges and rubble stone end walls. Originally, it was a regular two-storey-and-attic building with a three-window range and end wall stacks, but it was extended in 1926 to create a four-window range that matches the original style. The house has coped gables, and the east end stack is inscribed with "W. Webb 1778." There are three gabled dormers, an ashlar plinth, rusticated quoins, a raised band, an eaves cornice, and moulded window architraves. The original part of the house features paired 12-pane sash windows on each side and a single 16-pane sash window in the center above a six-panel door, which is framed by a similar architrave and has a hood supported by brackets. The left side addition includes paired 12-pane sashes on each floor. Inside, there is a Tudor-arched fireplace in the room to the left of the entrance.
