Stratton House Hotel

Stratton House Hotel is an early 19th-century house, later adapted for use as a hotel, with alterations and additions dating to the 19th and 20th centuries. The main range is constructed of coursed squared limestone, with an ashlar porch and coursed rubble to the side and rear wings. The roofs are covered in artificial slate, hipped to the main range, with stone and rebuilt brick stacks.

The 3-storey, 3-window main range has contemporary wings to the rear and right side, along with 19th-century service wings that have undergone 20th-century alterations. The front elevation features three 6/6-pane sash windows to the first floor in flat stone surrounds, and three similar 3/6-pane sashes to the second floor. Ground floor windows are two 19th-century plate glass sashes with stone sills, in matching surrounds. A later 19th-century porch on the right side has a half-glazed door under a decorative fanlight within a round-headed opening with a moulded stone reveal, a plinth, a moulded stone cornice, and a blocking course. The house features plat bands above the ground and first floors, and cill bands to the first and second-floor windows. A moulded stone cornice tops the building, finished with a coped parapet.

A 3-storey, 4-window wing is set back approximately 0.5 metres to the right; it has three 6/6-pane sashes in plain reveals, with one former sash window now serving as a first-floor fire escape door, and four 20th-century six-pane windows with top-hung lights to the second floor. The ground floor of this wing contains four 6/6-pane sashes and one 20th-century door. Again, cill bands are present on the first and second floors, and the wing is finished with a moulded stone cornice and coped parapet.

The interior features a cantilevered stone staircase with a moulded soffit, stick balusters, and a mahogany handrail, leading to a stone-paved staircase hall. The front left room on the ground floor has a large timber chimney-piece with decorative composition ornamentation and an enriched moulded cornice. A ground-floor room at the rear left has a timber chimney-piece with decoration and a large 19th-century iron grate, along with a run cornice. A mock Jacobean bar on the front right of the ground floor includes a beam with a big chamfer, possibly inserted later. Other rooms were not inspected. A two-storey 19th-century service wing is located to the right, and a 19th- or 20th-century service wing is situated at the rear, both having undergone 20th-century alterations.
