St Annes Court

St Anne's Court is a house, later adapted as a convent and now apartments, dating from the early 18th century. The exterior is of incised stucco with painted ashlar dressings and a plinth. Chamfered quoins are also visible, and the roof is of Welsh slate with a brick chimney. The rear elevation is of Flemish bond brick with moulded floor strings and a dog-tooth cornice.

The house is three storeys high and has three bays, with a recessed one-bay wing to the right. The central door features diagonal panelling in the lower half, above a four-panelled section, and is set within an architrave. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars, with flat stone lintels and projecting stone sills. A parapet with a cornice tops the main block. The wing has a renewed door with a plain surround and a blocked overlight, above a small window.

The double-span roof to the main house has central and side brick chimneys, with a hipped section to the left.

Inside, the main staircase has fat turned balusters supporting a wide, ramped and wreathed handrail, fluted rectangular newels, and a curtail. A panelled dado is present without a rail to the first flight. A front left room on the second floor features raised fielded panelling. The rear wing includes a ground-floor room at a higher level due to the sloping ground, which contains significant Rococo decoration in plaster and carved wood. This decoration includes enriched mouldings to shutters and doors, swags and garlands in panels and covering the ceiling, and a chimney-piece with a bracketed cornice and marble and marbled stone surrounds. An Ionic Venetian case is present at the garden door, with broad glazing bars in the overlight and sidelights, and a tall staircase window is nearby. Numerous six-panelled doors, with L hinges and wide architraves, and several 18th-century chimney pieces (some with later cast iron grates) are features of the interior. A brick-vaulted cellar has a re-used grooved wood lintel. The roof features trusses with apex collars, with staggered purlins and floor concealing the feet of the trusses.
