Description

Flint Railway Station is a late classical building with a symmetrical design, constructed in brick with Penmon stone dressings. It stands two storeys high and features offices, staff, and passenger facilities on the ground floor, while the station master's accommodation is located above. The entrance facade has five bays, with outer wings flanking the entrance. The hipped slate roofs are complemented by tall brick stacks that have heavy classical stone cornices and wide eaves. A moulded cornice runs above the ground floor.

The upper windows are widely spaced and feature heavy architraves, consoled cornices, and sill brackets positioned under the eaves. Most of the sashes retain their original glazing bars, including an unusual pairing of centre bars. Above the entrance, there is an armorial panel with an ovoid cartouche and volutes, situated over a plain canopy supported by ironwork brackets. The ground floor windows have a similar treatment, with lugged margins, sunk panels on the cornices, and original sash glazing, except for the right-hand wing. To the left end, there is a low single window and a slated extension with a tall brick stack.

The platform facade has five windows and mirrors the detailing of the entrance front. It retains original glazing and features a central canopy on brackets between the low one-window wings on the left and right.
