Stratton Manor is a historic plantation house located near Cape Charles, Northampton County, Virginia. It was built in the third quarter of the 18th century, and is a {{frac|1|1|2}}-story, single-pile, gable roof house with a wood-frame core of three bays with brick ends. A two-story ell was added in the first quarter of the 20th century. It is a characteristic example of the 18th-century vernacular architecture distinctive of Virginia's Eastern Shore.{{cite web |url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Northampton/065-0024_Stratton_Manor_1980_Final_Nomintation.pdf|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Stratton Manor|author=Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission | date=September 1980|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources}} and [http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Northampton/StrattonManor_photo.htm Accompanying photo]
