Description
The Old Red Lion Hotel is an early 19th-century building that was originally three separate houses and has been significantly altered over time. The left section is constructed of ashlar stone and features a first-floor cill band with a Cotswold stone roof. It stands two storeys high with an attic and has three windows, which are sashes with glazing bars set in stone architrave surrounds, except for a small late 19th-century shop window on the left. The central part has a glazed door framed by an architrave surround, with a plain opening leading to a through passage on the right. The roof has a central gabled dormer and a ridge stack.
The central section is also made of ashlar with a Cotswold stone roof and is two storeys high with an attic, featuring two windows. The ground floor has a 20th-century bayed front with a through roof over a partially glazed door. Above, there are two 16-pane sashes in architrave surrounds and two gabled dormers.
The right section dates back to the early 18th century and is built of ashlar with a Welsh slate roof. It also stands two storeys high with an attic and has two windows. The ground floor includes a modern two-light casement with a drip mould above it, alongside a small late 19th-century shop front with an integral door to the right. Above, there are two modern tripartite casements with drip moulds. The roof is steeply pitched and features two gabled dormers.
