Description
The Red House at Eastwell House is a garden building dating from around 1700. It is constructed of red brick and features a banded plain tile hipped roof. The building has two storeys, with rubbed brick rusticated quoins and a timber moulded eaves cornice. The windows are framed in timber bolection-moulded surrounds.
On the south end wall, there are two 18-pane sash windows on each floor. The west side has a three-window range, with a central 8-panel door in a bolection-moulded surround, topped with a later pedimental hood. There are blank panels to the left and right of the door, with the left panel featuring a moulded surround. The first floor has a blank panel to the left and two blocked windows, both with bolection-moulded surrounds. The east side's ground floor is obscured, while the first floor has three blocked windows with bolection surrounds. The brickwork is in English bond, mostly chequered, with red brick sides to the windows. There is a stack at the north end.
This building is said to have been constructed for the orphan children of Henry Baynton of Spye Park, who were wards of the Grubbe family from 1691 to 1716.
