Description
Flinders Cottage is a house dating from the late 15th century or early 16th century, with alterations made around 1800. It has one storey and attics and is designed as a three-cell open hall house. The structure is timber-framed and roughcast, topped with a plaintiled roof featuring gabled casement dormers from around 1800. There is an 18th-century axial chimney made of red brick and a 19th-century chimney at the right end. The cottage has 19th-century small-pane casements and a gabled entrance porch from the 19th or early 20th century, which includes a mid-20th century boarded door.
The open hall has undergone significant changes, with the original open truss removed. There is a blocked rear cross-entry doorway with a 4-centred arched head and signs of a spere. The front hall window, which has been blocked, originally featured six lights with some square mullions. The parlour cell contains large lodged floor joists and well-crafted close-studding with wind-bracing in a convex arch form. The roof structure is not visible. In the late 16th century, a chimney was added near the cross-entry, and an upper floor with chamfered joists was inserted in the hall. Around 1800, the service cell was extended to the left, and the partition containing two original service room doorways was repositioned.
