Stratton: A Heritage Composite Door for One of North Cornwall's Oldest Towns
By Cornwall Composite Doors · 4 September 1969 · 4 min read
EX23's historic cottages near Stratton Church and Stamford Hill call for a door that respects the setting without sacrificing performance.
Older than Bude itself
Stratton predates its larger, better-known neighbour Bude by centuries, and its historic core around Stratton Church retains a genuinely old townscape — narrow streets, stone and cob cottages, and a scale of building that a modern flush composite door would look out of place against. This is a village where getting the style right matters as much as the performance spec.
Why heritage styling is the right call here
For Stratton's older cottages, we consistently recommend natural woodgrain composite finishes with polished chrome furniture — a look that reads as genuinely traditional from the street while giving the owner all the practical benefits of a modern doorset underneath. It's not a rule we apply everywhere in Cornwall, but it fits Stratton's historic character particularly well.
Exposure without the coast
Stratton sits just inland of Bude, close enough to the north Cornish coast to catch real weather off the Atlantic without the direct salt spray of a clifftop property. Wind-driven rain is the main challenge here rather than salt corrosion, and a properly sealed composite door with a triple-brush weather seal handles it comfortably.
Stamford Hill and the wider parish
Beyond the historic centre, Stratton's parish extends out towards Stamford Hill and includes a broader mix of housing ages. On the newer properties away from the historic core, customers have more freedom to choose contemporary colours and styles without needing to consider how a door reads against centuries-old stone.
