Flint Cottage

Flint Cottage is a house located on Church Farm Lane in Rushden, originally built as two dwellings and later expanded to three. It dates from the early to mid 18th century and was extended in the 19th century. The structure features a timber frame that is weatherboarded, with a flint and stock brick addition. The roof is half hipped and thatched. Originally, the house had a symmetrical design with two bays, and an additional bay was added to the left side. The building is two storeys high, with entrances in the original outer bays; the entrance on the right has moulded jambs and a lintel. The ground floor has 20th-century three-light flush frame leaded light casements, while the first floor features four three-light leaded casements from the 18th or 19th century. A central ridge stack is present, and the 19th-century bay includes a two-light recessed casement with a cambered head, along with a rendered left return and three recessed lights with a cambered head. The right end facing the road is roughcast over a weatherboarded ground floor, and the rear elevation is roughcast with a flint and brick lean-to addition, which has a stack at the rear of the 19th-century bay.
