Description

Flints is a house built in the early 19th century, constructed from flint rubble with gault brick dressings and a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan that faces northwest, positioned at right angles to the street, and features a central stack. At the rear, there is a single-storey extension made of red brick. The house stands two storeys high and has a three-window range of original casement windows with four-centred heads. There are two adjacent plain boarded doors, also with four-centred heads, set in a common opening with a four-centred arch above. The central gable displays late 19th-century fretted and pierced bargeboards, a spiked finial, and a carved pendant. A plain brick band runs along the elevation, which is symmetrical in design. The roof has a shallow pitch and is topped with a short octagonal stack featuring cruciform shafts.

On the northeast elevation facing the street, there is a two-window range of similar casement windows, along with matching bargeboards, finial, and pendant. The rear wall includes some uncoursed red brick, and the rear extension also has similar bargeboards. The stack resembles that of North Lodge, suggesting that Flints may have been designed by Henry Hakewill for Charles Savill Onley, formerly known as Harvey. The house did not appear on a map from 1823 but was present on the tithe map of 1839, although it did not yet include the rear extension.

Local climate

Flints sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 75% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 28 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 70% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
