Description
Flint Cottage is an early 19th-century house, originally built as two cottages. It is constructed of chequered flint and chalk with pebble-dashed surfaces and rendered gables. The roof is slate, with a central brick chimney. The house has two storeys and two bays. The windows are casements, with single horizontal glazing bars; the ground floor windows have 20th-century metal frames with chalk voussoirs and keyblocks, while the first-floor windows have wooden frames. A blocked door is located on the left side, featuring a segmental brick and flint head, and a 20th-century half-glazed door is on the right, also with a similar head and a 20th-century flat wooden hood. There is a flint lean-to on the right side of the building, and another at the rear.
