Description
Flint Cottage is a mid-19th century building that originally consisted of two cottages but is now a single dwelling. It is constructed of colourwashed brick and features a stone slate roof. The cottage is single storey with an attic and has a symmetrical layout with four bays centered around the entrance. The entrance consists of a margin glazed door set beneath a pent roof, which connects the end wings and is supported by a 2-centred flint arch with a gable at the center. On either side of the door are leaded timber windows. The projecting end wings have canted bays on the ground floor and gables that jet out on brackets on the upper floor, which are faced in horizontal boarding and decorated with blind quatrefoils. The gables also feature cusped barge boards with a stone cross and cross pendents. The inner bays have gabled dormers, and there are large brick stacks with cogged offsets, stone caps, and twin diagonal brick shafts. The return ends of the cottage have single dormers. There is a 20th-century flat-roofed service extension at the right end.
