Description

The Red House on Manse Road in Dirleton is a later 18th century, three-storey tenement building with a symmetrical rectangular plan, consisting of six flats. The exterior features red sandstone masonry, squared on the east and south sides, with rubble on the north and west sides, and ashlar openings. The east elevation, which was the former main entrance, has a three-bay layout with a central door that has been blocked and replaced with a window, along with an additional window to the left. The west elevation has an irregular arrangement of windows. The south elevation shows a distinctive change in masonry color above the first floor, with a single window bay on the right and another on the north elevation to the left. The sash and case windows have a 12-pane glazing pattern. The building has raised plain skews and is topped with grey slates, featuring coped gablehead stacks. Inside, there is a newel stone staircase, and the original division into flats remains intact.
