Anvil House

Anvil House is a building that originally served as a schoolroom with an attached master's house, now functioning as a private residence. It dates from the later 18th century and is constructed of coursed rubble with horizontally-tooled quoins and dressings, topped with a stone slate roof.

The north elevation is divided into two sections. The right part is the master's house, featuring a gabled two-storey bay that has a false four-pane window on the ground floor and a 12-pane Yorkshire sash window above, along with a coped gable. There is a stepped-and-banded lateral stack on the left side, and an outshut on the right that has a renewed window in an old opening. To the left, the single-storey two-bay schoolroom includes a pent porch in the right bay, with a renewed door on the left return and a four-pane sash window on the left. The left gable is coped, and the left return displays a stepped projecting stack.

On the rear elevation, the house features a French window, with a renewed window in an old opening above it, while the schoolroom has two four-pane sash windows.

The school was established in 1794 and remained operational until 1866. Anvil House is included in the heritage register for its historical significance.
