The Red House, Strathpeffer

This Category B listed house faces onto the A834 at the eastern end of Strathpeffer village. Built in the late 19th century as a pair of semi-detached houses, it is now all one house. The house takes its name from the brick-coloured tiles and maroon joinery used in its construction. It is a rare example of a tile-hung Arts and Crafts style house in the Highlands. The walling material recalls the style of architect George Devey, whose work was mostly in south east England.
