Description

Flixton House and stable yard is a house built around 1850 for Thomas Morse, a local brewer. It features white brick construction and a hipped slated roof, standing two storeys tall with a four-bay facade that has pilaster strips at the corners. The inset sash windows, which have glazing bars, are set under flat brick arches, although the left-hand ground floor window is blind. Two of the paired louvred window shutters are still in place. The entrance includes a four-panel door divided into two leaves, a plain rectangular fanlight above, and an open porch supported by two pairs of slender columns with an entablature above.

To the left side of the house is a four-bay garden front, where some sash windows have been replaced with larger panes. Behind a screen wall to the right of the entrance is the stable yard, which includes a coach house and stable block on two sides, both constructed of red brick and remaining unaltered. The stables feature three semi-circular headed cast iron windows. Inside the house, the original features are preserved, including a well stair with stick balusters and carved tread-ends.
