Strouds House
(Formerly Listed as Strudes)
GV
II
House, mid to late C17 with a probably C19 dairy left and a late C20 extension right. Brick: the main facade, is of irregular bonding giving an effect of horizontal banding in vitrified brick. The rear facade is in English bond. The left gable wall is partly in rubble. The C20 work is in Flemish bond brick and the dairy is rendered and whitewashed. Thatched roof, gabled left and half hipped right brick stacks to ends of original range, that to the left being C19 and that to the right possible original.
Originally symmetrical; two storeys, three bays to original house with single bay extension right, three-light C19/20 casements with horizontal glazing bars except to the upper floor central which has a two-light casement with full glazing bars. Central C20 part-glazed plank door under thatched porch. To the ground floor of the rear facade are two ovolo-moulded, timber mullioned windows of three lights modified to accept later casements. The brickwork is built directly on these without lintels or arches demonstrating that they were intended to be structural. Internally there is an open fireplace with a chamfered, shallow four-centred head timber bressummer and medium chamfered beams with run-out and step and hollow curve stops. The roof timbers were believed to be original, but works in 2018 have demonstrated that while the trusses and rear roof slope are original, the front slope has been partly rebuilt with modern sawn rafters on the original purlins.
