Description
Strattons Hotel is a house dating from the mid-18th century, with a later addition from around 1890 at the east end. The original section is built of red brick and has a pantiled roof, while the addition is also red brick but features a machine-tiled roof.
The building is single storey with a dormer attic above a basement and has a five-window range. The central bay projects under a gable, with four, two, and three-light 20th-century basement windows. There are central late 20th-century double-leaf doors flanked by small late 20th-century windows on either side, accessed by a flight of stone steps with square-section wrought-iron railings. The steps include a central roundel with keyblocks that light the basement. A Diocletian window is located in the gable head, adorned with keyblocks and a painted sundial face.
On the main first floor, there is an outer Venetian window on either side, fitted with 1/1 unhorned sashes, along with two additional 1/1 simple sashes. The roof is gabled, featuring two gabled dormers with 1/1 unhorned sashes. Internal gable-end stacks are present on both the west and east sides.
The two-storey addition to the east has an irregular four-window range, with a 20th-century door to the left and three 1/1 horned sashes to the right, plus four more 1/1 horned sashes on the first floor. This section has a hipped roof with a gable over the centre of the facade, which contains a Diocletian window. Stacks are located on the side slopes.
Inside, the 18th-century range features cornices in the principal rooms and 19th-century fireplaces. There is a 19th-century staircase with bobbin-turned balusters and a ramped handrail, as well as a 19th-century range with splat balusters on a closed-string staircase and panelled newels topped with ball finials.
