Red House And Railings Attached To Front Steps

Red House, originally an inn known as the Johnstone Arms, is now a house that dates from the early 19th century and has been modernized in the 20th century. The front is finished with bordered herringbone-tooled sandstone, while the sides are dressed sandstone. It features a moulded timber eaves cornice and a concrete pantile roof. The building has a central stairhall plan and is two stories tall with a three-window front, flanked by single-storey outbuildings.

The central entrance door consists of six raised panels with fluted borders and is topped by a divided overlight and a cornice doorhood supported by fluted consoles. The windows are 16-pane sashes with painted stone sills and tooled keyed lintels. The eaves cornice is adorned with paired modillions, and the openings to the outbuildings also have keyed lintels. The house has end stacks, and the outbuildings have half-hipped pent roofs.

The front steps are complemented by cast-iron turned, tapered railings, which feature a raked handrail that is wreathed at the foot and topped with urn finials.
