Description

The Red House is a two-storey building with an attic and cellar, constructed of red brick and topped with a slate roof. It features five window bays. The central entrance has a six-panelled door with a 20th-century radial fanlight, all under a semicircular hood supported by brackets. The house has three flue stacks on its raised and coped gable walls, with the west wall rendered. The ground floor windows are twelve-paned sashes with segmental heads, and there is a moulded timber eaves cornice. Three gabled dormers are adorned with lozenge pattern iron glazing and decorative barge boards that culminate in spiked finials.

The front wall, which defines the house's forecourt against the road, is built in garden wall bond and features flush stone rounded copings. The entrance gate piers have been rebuilt.

Inside, there is a through stair hall with panelled doors and an impressive 18th-century staircase that has turned balusters.
