Description
Stratford Tony House is a detached house with an early 17th-century central range, flanked by 18th-century wings. A one-bay addition was made to the front wing in 1791, and a 1920s extension was added to the east side of the central range. The house is constructed of Flemish bond brick with stone quoins on the front, header bond brick to the right return, with a tile-hung first floor, and flint and brick banding to the rear range. The tiled roof has brick stacks. The building is arranged in a U-shaped plan.
The symmetrical front of around 1730 has two storeys and five windows. The central double door has six fielded panels, a transom light, and a pediment supported by consoles. Either side of the door are two 12-pane sashes in moulded architraves with flat arches and keystones. A stone plat band runs along the first floor, beneath five sashes matching those on the ground floor. Two hipped dormers with two-light casements are visible in the roof, and there is a stack to the right.
The right return serves as the entrance front. Here, a 20th-century door is located to the left of the early 17th-century range. To the right of the door is a casement with heraldic stained glass and a segmental head. Alongside is a casement in the 1730s wing, and a three-light casement and an inserted door are within the rear wing. The first floor features a casement to the left and another in the attic. The tile-hung central range has single and four-light casements, and a two-light casement to the right. The left return from the front has two French windows with cambered heads on the ground floor and two sashes on the first floor. A 1920s extension is attached to the central range with casements to ground and first floors. Behind the front wing is a bay added in 1791, constructed in English bond brick, with an external stack and brick incised IAS/1791 on the first floor, along with an attic casement in the gable of the front wing.
The rear wing, built with flint and brick banding, features four-light and single casements on the ground floor and two-light, three-light, and four-light casements on the first floor, all with segmental heads. The rear has a stepped eaves cornice in brick.
Inside, the early 17th-century range has two bays with deeply chamfered beams with splayed stops on the ground floor. The first floor has an open roof with butt purlins and collars. The 1730s front range incorporates reset 17th-century wainscot panelling and a Tudor-arched fireplace with carved spandrels in the west room. The east room has a bolection-moulded fireplace within the 1791 bay. Interior features include fielded panel doors, a newel staircase with columnar balusters rising to the attic, fielded panel doors and L-hinges on the first floor, and fielded panelling to the dado. The south wing includes reset early 17th-century wainscot doors with L-hinges, leading to wig chambers in the east room on the first floor. The house underwent restoration in the 1930s.
