Description
Flint Barn is a former farm building dating from the early 19th century that was converted into a house around 1970. It is constructed from random kidney flint with red brick quoins and dressings, and has a pantile roof. The barn features fluted barge-boards and a spike finial on the rear gable, and is positioned gable-end to the street. The building is two storeys high, with a single-storey lean-to along the west side.
On the east side, there are five three-light plain casement windows on the upper floor and four semi-circular-headed Diocletian-type windows on the ground floor, which have vertical glazing bars. The central entrance arch has a semi-circular head and now contains a recessed entrance door. There is also a semi-circular window in the gable end, along with an inserted three-light casement window above it that has a single bar across the lights. Additionally, four small gabled dormers have been inserted along the west slope of the roof, and there are two internally set red brick chimney-stacks with plain shafts and corbelled heads.
