Description
Anvil House is a former smithy that has been incorporated into a house, dating from the early 19th century. It features painted rubble with ashlar dressings and has a pantiled roof with stone ridged tiles, stone gabled copings, and a brick chimney. The building is one storey high and has two windows. On the left side, there is a boarded Dutch door, while to the right of the door, there are horizontal sliding sash windows with pecked stone lintels and sills, and a two-light casement window near the centre, which has lattice glazing bars. The roof has a gable coping at the right end and a renewed banded brick chimney at the right end. There is a two-storey, three-bay section to the left that is not of interest.
