Description
Flint Farmhouse is a house with several building periods, primarily dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with an extension added in the late 18th century. The original structure is timber framed and rendered, with the roof raised in the late 18th century when a parlour wing was added. It features a steeply pitched thatched roof, which is now covered with corrugated iron, and a ridge stack made of yellow gault brick. The house has a three-bay, lobby entry plan and is now two storeys high. There are two 19th-century windows on the first floor and two canted bays on either side of the doorway leading to the lobby entry.
At the rear, there is a framed and rendered 18th-century addition, possibly a wash house, which has a thatched, steeply pitched roof with a later end stack and is one storey with an attic. The late 18th-century parlour wing incorporates the left-hand bay of the original house, constructed of gault brick in Flemish bond that partly cases the original house. This wing has a hipped roof at the front and is two storeys high, with segmental arches over two windows. In the 19th century, a single kitchen range was added to the right side of the original house, made of brick and thatched.
Inside, some of the panelling from the mid to late 18th-century house remains in place, along with a mid-19th-century open-string staircase featuring column balusters and a moulded rail. The original wall plate and later wall facing from the late 18th-century roof raise are exposed in part. The 19th-century kitchen wing retains its original oven and copper.
