Description
Stretton House, formerly known as The Vicarage, is a house located in Stretton on Dunsmore, built in the late 18th century to early 19th century for the Reverend William Clarke. The house is constructed of Flemish bond brick and features a string course at the front. It has a slate, shallow hipped roof with deep boxed eaves supported by widely-spaced Ionic modillions, and brick stacks at the rear. The building is in an L-plan configuration, with a wing on the right side at the back. It is two storeys high and has a symmetrical five-window range. The entrance includes a half-glazed, six-panelled door topped with a fanlight that has decorative glazing. The door is framed by a painted moulded wood Tuscan Doric doorcase with half-columns and an open pediment. The sashes are adorned with gauged brick flat arches and painted keystones, while the rear wing features some leaded casements. The interior has not been inspected.
