Little Cottage Co. Stratford Schoolhouse Playhouse Kit
Stratford Schoolhouse Playhouse Kit
Let your kids' imagination fly and open it to unlimited possibilities with our Playhouses!
The Stratford Schoolhouse is a great way for your children to learn and grow. It is made in the USA with high-quality materials. There is plenty of space inside for learning, whether at home or in another setting. The bell rope included with the schoolhouse can be used to signal when it is time to start class again. Buy one today and see how your children's minds develop and grow! Assembly can take as little as a day depending on how much help you have. The kits are shipped as panels that are pre-assembled, primed, and ready for painting with the color of your choice. The siding has been pre-fastened onto wall panels so that the trim helps define the character of this playhouse. Faux-stained glass windows are an available option to further enhance the appearance of your playhouse. Our sturdy frame construction and hefty weight guarantees durability. With six tempered safety glass windows, natural light will shine through without any worries. Plus, easy entry is guaranteed with two well-sized doors, one for children and one for adults, at the backside. Get ready to experience ultimate protection, safety, and convenience all in one playhouse. Have peace of mind knowing that your kids are safe in your backyard playing in their very own playhouse. This Playhouse will help them build memories that your entire family will cherish for years to come.
Lead time for production is 2-4 weeks. Your playhouse will be delivered in 2-9 days depending on the distance from our site in Ohio to your home.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is curbside delivery. Although our trailers and carriers most often come with liftgates to unload your shed, there might be certain factors such as terrain, road clearance, or the weight of the pallet being too heavy for the liftgate to unload which might prevent that from doing so. We highly encourage you to have 2-3 people ready on the day of the delivery to manually unload the pieces on the pallet one by one. Each individual piece would weigh around 1-100 lbs. so it is manageable to have one person on the trailer carry down the piece and the other receive it from the curb. Thank you for your understanding and for choosing Homestead Supplier!

FAQ
What exactly comes with the Stratford Schoolhouse Playhouse kit?
You’re getting a panelized playhouse kit (pre-assembled wall panels) that’s designed to go together without you having to measure and cut everything from scratch. It includes the kid door and adult door, six working windows with screens, and the school bell with a rope.
Is it already painted, or do I paint it myself?
It arrives primed and ready to paint. You pick the colors and finish it how you want after assembly. If you’re going for a more “classic schoolhouse” look, this is the fun part.
Do the windows open, and are they real glass?
Yes—these are working windows made with tempered safety glass, and they come with screens too. Great for airflow without turning the playhouse into a bug hangout.
Is there an adult-sized door, or is it kids only?
There are two doors included: a child door and a separate adult-sized door, so parents can step in without doing the sideways shuffle.
Does the floor come with it?
The floor kit is not included. You’ll supply the flooring materials (including the plywood and treated sub-floor framing). If you add the optional Deck & Rail, you’ll also need to supply 4" x 4" runners underneath the playhouse.
What sizes are available, and how tall is it inside?
This model comes in 8x8, 8x10, and 8x12. Inside height is listed at 82", so it feels roomy for a playhouse and works well for kids as they grow.
How long does assembly usually take?
A lot depends on how many hands you have, but since it ships as panels, assembly can be surprisingly quick—some people can knock it out in as little as a day with help. Take your time if you want cleaner paint lines and trim work.
What’s the lead time and how does delivery work?
The page lists a 2–4 week production lead time, then roughly 2–9 days in transit from Ohio (distance-dependent). Delivery is curbside. It’s smart to have 2–3 people ready so you can unload pieces safely—items can range from very light up to heavier components.
Will I need a permit or HOA approval?
Maybe—rules vary a lot by city and HOA. If your area cares about accessory structures, they usually look at footprint and overall height. Quick move: check local requirements before delivery day so you’re not stuck waiting to build.

FAQ
What exactly comes with the Stratford Schoolhouse Playhouse kit?
You’re getting a panelized playhouse kit (pre-assembled wall panels) that’s designed to go together without you having to measure and cut everything from scratch. It includes the kid door and adult door, six working windows with screens, and the school bell with a rope.
Is it already painted, or do I paint it myself?
It arrives primed and ready to paint. You pick the colors and finish it how you want after assembly. If you’re going for a more “classic schoolhouse” look, this is the fun part.
Do the windows open, and are they real glass?
Yes—these are working windows made with tempered safety glass, and they come with screens too. Great for airflow without turning the playhouse into a bug hangout.
Is there an adult-sized door, or is it kids only?
There are two doors included: a child door and a separate adult-sized door, so parents can step in without doing the sideways shuffle.
Does the floor come with it?
The floor kit is not included. You’ll supply the flooring materials (including the plywood and treated sub-floor framing). If you add the optional Deck & Rail, you’ll also need to supply 4" x 4" runners underneath the playhouse.
What sizes are available, and how tall is it inside?
This model comes in 8x8, 8x10, and 8x12. Inside height is listed at 82", so it feels roomy for a playhouse and works well for kids as they grow.
How long does assembly usually take?
A lot depends on how many hands you have, but since it ships as panels, assembly can be surprisingly quick—some people can knock it out in as little as a day with help. Take your time if you want cleaner paint lines and trim work.
What’s the lead time and how does delivery work?
The page lists a 2–4 week production lead time, then roughly 2–9 days in transit from Ohio (distance-dependent). Delivery is curbside. It’s smart to have 2–3 people ready so you can unload pieces safely—items can range from very light up to heavier components.
Will I need a permit or HOA approval?
Maybe—rules vary a lot by city and HOA. If your area cares about accessory structures, they usually look at footprint and overall height. Quick move: check local requirements before delivery day so you’re not stuck waiting to build.
