Strode House

Strode House is a house built around 1830-1840, with an earlier core. The front is made of ashlar stone, while the rear wings are constructed from rendered and squared rubble. The house has slate roofs. The main front features a formal two-storey design with a three-window layout and a low-pitched hipped roof that has deep eaves. The eaves soffit is finished with painted boarding. There is a raised plinth, angle strips, a band, and an eaves band. The windows are twelve-pane sashes, and the central doorway is elliptical-arched, featuring a four-panel door, side-lights, and a traceried fanlight. A broad Roman Doric porch with two columns, half-column responds, and a flat entablature enhances the entrance.

The two rear wings include a south wing that is rendered, with sashes in flush ashlar frames, a steep-pitched roof, and an east end stack. The north wing is made of coursed rubble stone, featuring a raised band and several cyma-moulded recessed two-light mullion windows. There is a 20th-century hipped porch added to the house. Strode House is marked as Stroud Farm, owned by D. Smith Esqr, on the 1773 Andrews and Drury map.
