Description
Flinders Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with brick casing added in the 19th century and a lower west rear wing built around 1900. The structure features a timber frame filled with red brick on the eastern gable, which is cased in red brick patterned with blue headers. It has a steep old red tile roof that is hipped at the west end. The house is two stories tall and has three windows, facing north and set back from the road. The ground floor includes three-light flush leaded casement windows with segmental arches made of alternating red and blue bricks. To the right of the eastern window, there is a four-panel door in a heavy frame, sheltered by a gabled tiled porch supported by posts. A very large external chimney is located on the eastern gable, featuring three flues and tiled offsets. Above the door, there is a blind recess. The eastern gable reveals the exposed frame of a clasped purlin roof. The rear wing is one and a half stories tall, gabled, and constructed of chequered red and blue brick with a tiled roof.
