Description
Flint Cottage is a gamekeeper's cottage, dating to circa 1820, and now used as a house. It has undergone alterations and additions in the mid-19th century and the 20th century. The construction is primarily flint with red brick bands at the sills and eaves, quoins, and vertical strips framing the windows. The roof is hipped and covered in Welsh slate, with brick end stacks topped with terracotta pots. The cottage is two storeys high and originally consisted of two bays, with a parallel rear range added in the mid-19th century, a side outshut to the right, and a late 20th-century single-storey wing to the rear right.
The north-east elevation features pointed-arched windows with two-light, four-pane casements, each with Y-tracery to the head. The outshut has a four-panel door set within a flat brick arch, now partially glazed and sheltered by a brick-and-weatherboard porch. A narrow window has been inserted to the left of the front range. The rear elevation has large windows with cambered brick arches and small-pane metal windows. The right return features two windows to the rear in the outshut.
Internally, the original front range retains old doors, plain surrounds to original fireplaces, and a steep staircase under the stairs. The outshut includes a large fireplace in the kitchen (at the rear), an old stone sink, and the remains of a pump with a swept, heart-stopped handle in the scullery (at the front).
