Stratton Firs

Stratton Firs is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with later alterations and additions. It is constructed from coursed squared limestone rubble, showing traces of old limewash and some brick patching. The roof is made of stone slate, featuring rebuilt brick stacks at both ends and a pair of ashlar flues with moulded tops, along with an additional brick flue on the ridge at the right end of the main range. The house has a late 17th century or early 18th century four-window range, with a late 18th century or 19th century two-window addition to the right.

The building has two storeys and an attic, comprising a six-window range. The first floor features four 20th century 6/6-pane sash windows under exposed timber lintels on the left, with two of these in former openings that are now partially blocked with brick. On the right side of the first floor, there are two 2-light 19th century timber casements. The ground floor includes a triple sash window with timber mullions to the far left, featuring three 2/2-pane sashes; a 19th century canted bay window at the centre right with one 3/3-pane sash in each of its three faces, a stone slate roof, and a stone base; and two 19th century two-light timber casements on the right. There is also a single-storey porch extension from the 19th or 20th century, with a stone slate roof and a gable facing the front, which includes a fixed 4-pane window and a 4-panel door on the left side. The house has four hipped dormers with 19th and 20th century two-light timber and iron casements. The left angle features flush quoins, and there is a former right angle at the junction with the later addition. A late 17th century or 18th century gabled wing is located at the rear left, while a catslide roof at the rear right extends behind the later addition and slopes down to a single storey.

Inside, there is a mid-19th century closed string staircase with stick balusters leading to the first floor, and a staircase likely from the 20th century to the second floor. The ground floor centre front room has a large fireplace opening with an exposed timber lintel and stone cheeks that have chamfers. There are three small section timber beams with small chamfers and run-out stops, while other beams are rough and unchamfered. The original five-bay roof structure of the main range has purlins morticed into the principals, though the apex is not visible, and the structure has undergone alterations in the 20th century.
