Redhouse Farmhouse

Redhouse Farmhouse is a house dating back to the 17th century, largely rebuilt in the 18th century and altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of red and vitreous brick, with the front wall using headers, and features a brick plinth and offset eaves. The roof is tiled, with a half-hipped section to the left, and there is a rebuilt brick chimney on the right side. The building is arranged in an L-shape, with a 20th-century addition forming an infill in the rear angle. The front facade has two bays with 20th-century, three-light wooden casement windows, those on the ground floor having lowered sills and 18th-century segmental arches above. A good 18th-century four-panelled door is located to the left of centre and is surrounded by a moulded wooden architrave with a pulvinated frieze and a deeply moulded pediment. The four stone steps leading to the door have been renewed. Brick dwarf walls are present at the front, and the original railings are missing. A county fire insurance plaque is affixed to the building. Inside, the left bay exhibits heavy timber framing in the internal walls, including stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. A room to the rear of the left bay features a moulded wooden cornice and an arched cupboard with shaped shelves to the left of the fireplace.
