Description
Red Lion House is a late 17th century timber-framed house that was refaced in the early 19th century. The exterior features cement rendering that has been painted. It has an old tile hipped roof with two box dormers. The building stands two storeys tall and includes a plinth, pilasters on each side adorned with sunk fret ornament, an anthemion frieze, and a moulded cornice. The entrance on the left consists of a six-panel door with a rectangular fanlight above, flanked by wide pilasters and a cornice topped with a lion. There are two double-hung sash windows on the ground floor, each four panes wide, with reveals, eared architrave surrounds, and cills. The first floor has three matching windows, each with three panes in the centre. Inside, the original timber structure is well-preserved and visible.
