In the form of an elongated, stepped wedge, Flint House sits in the heart of the Waddesdon Estate, on a chalk seam that runs from Norfolk to Dover. It was exploring this geology which inspired the architect, Charlotte Skene Catling, to create a building clad in flint which seems to erupt from the surrounding earth. The flints, knapped by hand by Sussex flint-workers The Flintman Company, are graduated in colour, steely grey at ground level rising to smooth white chalk blocks at the top. Facing the main building is a similarly stepped, smaller annex. The interiors of the house were designed by David Mlinaric.”</div> Wider Waddesdon Estate View <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/292367">Roger Bennion</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/292367/51680028"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/200/00/28/51680028.ab0c5b2e.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="115" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">This was taken from within the grounds of Waddesdon Manor.
