Description
Flint Cottage, located at No 18 and No 18A on Church Street in Amersham, is an early 19th-century building. It is constructed of yellow flint rubble with white flint rubble dressings, quoins, and a first-floor band. The hipped roof is covered with Welsh slate and features diminishing courses. A large central brick chimney stack is present, along with projecting eaves and a moulded wood cornice. The cottage is two storeys high and has three 3-light pointed arched windows with gothick intersecting tracery. The central entrance consists of a 6-fielded panel door topped by a gothic traceried fanlight, with a similar window on each side. On the south side, No 18 has a 1-storey lean-to with a slate roof, a pointed doorway on the east, and three casement windows on the south. The main house's south elevation features three arched recesses; the outer ones are blank, while the centre one has tracery and leaded glazing.
