The Flying Dutchman Public House

The Flying Dutchman Public House is a public house with origins dating back to the 17th century or earlier, featuring extensive remodelling from around the 1840s. It has a framed construction that is thoroughly underbuilt in brick, with some weatherboard cladding. The front elevation from the 19th century is made of brick with tile-hanging on the first floor, and it has a peg-tile roof with brick stacks.

The building has a south-facing, double depth plan that is two rooms wide, with the earlier parts located at the rear and west. Although later alterations have obscured the original arrangement, the two-cell, two-phase west crosswing and the rear range, which is roofed on a west-east axis, are likely from the 17th century. The front block, which is roofed parallel to the rear block, is an addition from the circa 1840s.

The exterior features two storeys, with the crosswing having an attic and gabled roofs. The front is asymmetrical with two windows, displaying the gable of the west crosswing on the left. The main entrance is alongside this, leading into the south block, which has a 19th-century enclosed timber porch with curly bargeboards and pendants. There is a 20th-century door into the crosswing to the left, situated under a pent roof. The windows are 2- and 3-light small-pane timber casements from the 19th or early 20th century. The left (north) return is weatherboarded and has 19th or 20th-century casement windows, along with an axial stack. The rear block has an axial stack with a handmade brick shaft and a 19th-century cap.

Inside, the ground floor has been largely modernized, with alterations to internal partitions. The rear block features an open fireplace on the west side in the lounge bar, which has handmade brick jambs, a chamfered timber lintel, and a bread oven.

The roof of the west crosswing is from the 17th century, featuring a tie-beam, queen posts, and clasped purlins. The roof of the rear wing is mostly inaccessible, but it appears that most of the rafters have been replaced.
