Description
Cintra is a house dating to 1821, located in White Hart Street, Thetford. The house is constructed of flint with gault brick dressings and a gault brick facade, topped with a slate roof. It is two storeys high and arranged in three bays. The central entrance features a half-glazed 6-panel door, surmounted by a scrolled fanlight, flanked by fluted pilaster strips and supported by two free-standing Tuscan columns. These columns hold up a bowed hood with coffers. The ground floor has two 6/6 sash windows, each beneath a gauged skewback arch. The first floor has three similar sash windows. A dentil eaves cornice tops the building, above a gabled roof. An internal gable-end stack is visible to the south. A ridge stack is positioned to the right (north) of the roof’s centre. The south-facing elevation features a plaque displaying the date 1821. The north gable wall has been rebuilt. Area railings, composed of circular-section verticals doubled below the middle rail and terminating in fleur-de-lys finials, run along the front. A matching gate is located opposite the entrance door. A flint wall, supported by gault brick piers, extends south from the south gable. A section of this wall has been rebuilt in the late 20th century and continues along Thomas Paine Avenue. The interior of the house has not been inspected.
