Description
Flint House is a Parsonage built in 1849, designed by Benjamin Ferrey, the architect of the nearby church. The building is constructed of flint with stone dressings, featuring a first-floor string course, quoins, window and door openings, and stacks. It comprises a gabled wing on the right side, with a three-light casement window on the ground floor and a two-light window above. A gabled porch sits in the angle, incorporating a pointed arch. To the left of the porch is a three-light casement window, with a matching window above within a gable. Some stone mullioned windows are present; the lower ones have shouldered heads, while the upper ones are adorned with trefoil arches. The upper windows have iron casements. The south elevation showcases a three-light casement window on the ground floor, accompanied by a two-light window to one side, and a second window above within a stone gable, with similar windows found on the rear elevation. A brick wing and a lower brick coach house block also exist. The roofs are tiled. The front gate piers are built from local sarsen or greyweather stone and flint, and are topped with gabled limestone finials decorated with trefoils.
