Description

Flishinghurst House is a hall-house that has been converted into a residential home. It dates from the late 15th century, was floored in the 16th century, and has undergone alterations and additions from the 17th to the 20th centuries. The building features a timber frame set on a rendered plinth, with some 19th-century close studding and curved braces, and plaster infilling. The roof is covered with plain tiles and has a half-hipped design.

The house is two storeys tall with attics and includes a tall brick chimney in the center of the east range, a tall 20th-century Elizabethan-style brick chimney on the north range, and another brick chimney on the south range. On the east side, there is a return half-hipped gable end of the south range to the left. The fenestration is irregular, with two windows on both floors to the right and one window in the gable to the left. Central windows on both floors are flanked by wide low ranges of windows beneath the wall-plates. The front features a boarded and ribbed door at the center, which is sheltered by an early 20th-century pentice-roofed weather-porch supported by two timber posts.

On the south side, there is one hipped dormer to the left. A 18th-century block to the left shows exposed framing with thin scantling on the first floor and diagonal braces. To the right, there is a jetty with a dragon-beam and post at the southwest corner, which was rebuilt in the 17th century. A larger block to the north, dating from the early 20th century, also has exposed framing. Inside, the substantial timber frame is visible, along with chamfered ceiling beams.
