Description

Strocherie is a house dating from around 1800, featuring two storeys and an attic with a three-bay front. The building incorporates earlier and later wings, creating an irregular layout. It is finished with harled walls and local red sandstone ashlar margins and dressings.

The south front has a central door and a regular arrangement of windows. There are later 19th-century canted dormers in the outer bays, along with single windows on the ground and first floors, and a small attic light in the east return gable.

The east wing, built around 1860, is a single-storey, three-bay structure with a central gabled porch that has a round-arched doorway, a panelled inner door, and a semicircular fanlight. It features flanking canted windows with margined multi-pane timber sash and case glazing, and has deep eaves. A smaller single-storey, three-bay wing adjoins the west gable and is said to be an earlier farmhouse.

The windows mainly consist of 12-pane glazing in timber sash and case frames, and there are corniced stacks at the ends. The roofs are slate, with skews on the west gable and overhanging eaves on the east gable.
