Description
Red House (unnamed) is shown on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map as a group of buildings in the centre of Harton with a principal entrance onto Moor Lane East, perhaps representing two or three separate establishments. By the time of the Ordnance Survey Second Edition map the eastern buildings are labelled 'Red House' and the majority of the western buildings have been removed. This area later became a Tennis Ground. The site was gradually redeveloped during the 20th century.
Part of the wall marking the western boundary of the farmyard survives and is locally listed (HER17859).
