Description

The Red Lion Inn is an 18th-century inn located on the northwest side of High Street in Rode. It features coursed rubble construction and a double-Roman tile roof, supported by four brick stacks, one of which is rendered. The building has two storeys and is arranged in three bays on the upper floor and four bays on the ground floor. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows set in bead-moulded stone surrounds, while the ground floor has three 20th-century casement windows, with the leftmost window located under a broad wooden lintel.

To the right, there is a door opening framed by a bead-moulded stone surround with an emphasized keystone and a segmental stone hood supported by cut stone brackets, leading to a broad studded plank door. To the left, there is a continuous two-storey outshut that is lower in height, featuring a broad segmental-headed door opening in a brick surround with double plank doors, as well as a small hay-loft door on the first floor. A large 19th-century wrought iron bracket is centered on the frontage, supporting a painted wooden signboard.
