Summary

Cintra house is dated to 1821 by a stone plaque in the south return. It is made from flint with gault brick dressings and a gault brick façade. The two-storey, three bay building features two free-standing Tuscan columns supporting a bowed hood and has a gabled roof. The area railings associated with the house terminate in fleur-de-lys finials, and a wall of whole flints supported at intervals with gault brick piers runs south from the south gable. The section turning into Thomas Paine Avenue was rebuilt in the late 20th century.

During renovations in 2016 a chalk block with an grafitti that reads 'J. P. 1821' was discovered within a small loft space, set within the northern gable of the building. This matches the date on the stone plaque in the south return wall and believed to be the construction date of the house.
