Description

The Red Lion Hotel Public House is a broad, three-storey building featuring a three-window front made of scribed cement render, complete with a plinth and rusticated quoins. It has a slate roof with boarded eaves and chimney stacks at both ends, as well as one to the right of the center. The Victorian 4-pane sash windows have nearly flush frames, with one horned window; the second-floor windows have smaller upper sashes. To the right, a modern multipane bay window has replaced the original shop front. An unusually tall Georgian-style porch, possibly a Victorian addition, is located to the left of center and is topped by a red lion with an outstretched tail. The porch features panelled pilasters, fluted iron columns, and a six-panel door with half-glazed inner doors. There is a barred cellar opening at the left end of the building.

At the rear right, there is a cat slide roof with pebbledash, featuring a gabled dormer and horned 16-pane sash windows, along with a stock brick stack. To the left, two gables have casement windows, and there is a modern flat roof extension below.

Inside, the building retains evidence of its timber frame structure, with a heavily beamed entrance hall. The interior includes various floor levels and panelled doors of different sizes.
