The Red House

The Red House is a house located on East Street in Hambledon, originally known as Tower House. It dates from the 17th century, with most of its features from the late 18th century. The building has walls made of red brick in Flemish bond, with rubbed flat arches, a brick dentilled cornice, and coping stone at the parapet. It has a tiled roof and a regular south-facing front elevation that is two storeys high with five windows, one of which is filled in. The windows are sashes set in exposed frames. The porch is simple, featuring two pilasters and two columns, panelled reveals, and a four-panelled door. There is another door in the fourth bay with an arched opening, a fanlight, and a four-panelled door. The fifth bay has been converted into a garage entrance. The south gable displays patterns of square flint panels from the 17th-century building, while the north gable is primarily flint.
