Description
Flint Cottages is a group of estate cottages, originally four but now two, built in the early 19th century. The cottages are two storeys high and designed in a Gothic style with a modified half-H plan, featuring a cottage in the cross-wing on each side and two in the central range, which has two gabled projections at the front. The exterior is constructed of black knapped flint with white brick dressings, and the front slopes of the roof are covered with fishscale slates, while the rear has plain slates. There are white brick internal chimney-stacks with groups of plain square shafts and attached heads. The gables have pierced and fluted bargeboards.
The front elevations feature early 20th-century casement windows with three lights and two lights, which have chamfered and rusticated surrounds along with hood-moulds above. The side elevations retain the original cast metal frames with a fine diamond pattern on the ground storey and blank recesses above. There are four open white brick porches with four-centred arched heads, two located on the side walls of the cross-wings and two in the angle between the cross-wings and the front projections, each topped with conical roofs.
