Strand House, The Strand, Winchelsea, Medieval grade II listed building in Winchelsea, England.

Strand House features traditional timber framing with mullioned windows, red brick elements, and an open hall design spanning two connected structures.

Built in 1425 as a farmhouse, the structure transformed through various roles including a hospital, brothel, and parish workhouse accommodating 24 residents.

The building caught the attention of artist J.M.W. Turner, who created sketches of soldiers marching up Strand Hill during the Napoleonic Wars.

Strand House functions as a bed and breakfast establishment, providing accommodations near the coastal town of Rye and local historical attractions.

A concealed tunnel at the rear of the property reportedly connects to the Armoury in Winchelsea, reflecting the area's smuggling heritage.
