A rather fine 17th century house, mainly built in stone, with later brick additions. There are a number of notable interior features such as heavily moulded ceiling beams, and a chamfered fireplace bressumer beam. The place was Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101209559-stirchley-hall-farmhouse-stirchley-and-brookside#.YZKaeWDP3IU & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1209559 in 1983.

Clearly there have been changes to the size and shape of the lower window at some stage in its history.

A building of two halves. The larger brick-built section with the tower was added in the early 19th century to the much older 12th century stone chancel, and partially enclosing other parts of a similar age.
