Description
The Red Lion is a former inn now functioning as a public house, dating from the 17th century to the early 19th century. It is constructed of painted brick, primarily in English garden wall bond with some Flemish bond, and has tiled roofs. The building is arranged in a T-plan with an extension along High Street and is two stories tall.
The facade facing High Street features a three-window section in Flemish bond, with a projecting chimney on the left side and a high rendered plinth. The sash windows are adorned with five stepped stone voussoirs and a projecting keystone. There is a former doorway with a semi-circular head located on the right side. The gable on the right return is timber-framed and brick nogged. To the right, there is a two-story wing with one window on the first floor, similar to the left wing. On the left, a sash window has fully-exposed boxes beneath a flat brick arch, while on the right, a planked door is set in a recess, accessed by steps from the pavement, with a timber lintel above. A sundial is positioned at the right-hand corner.
On the North Road side, there is a gable on the High Street range, and a return block of the same height is set well back, featuring the main entrance on the left, which consists of a planked door in a recess with a timber lintel. To the right of this entrance, there is a mounting block and a three-light timber casement window, with a four-light window above. Beyond this, a range of former farm buildings extends, with a splayed infill at the corner.
Inside, the bar on the right displays exposed chamfered beams and butterfly hinges on a cupboard door over the cellar stairs. There is some early 17th-century panelling in the bar to the left of the entrance. On the first floor, there are two planked doors, with alternating boards that are thinner and narrower, and a moulded edge on the wider boards, featuring early 18th-century strap hinges with bulbous ends.
