Anchor Cottage

Anchor Cottage is a 16th-century cottage with an original two-unit plan and a 17th-century extension. It is a one-storey building with an attic, featuring a rendered timber-frame and colour-washed brick exterior, topped with a thatched roof. The cottage has an end stack on the left side and a ridge stack with projecting panels made of local brick. The right gable has a brick parapet. There are four dormer windows with leaded light casements and four horizontal sliding sash windows with glazing bars on the ground floor, along with a door that has four flush panels. To the left, there is an attached timber-framed and weather-boarded barn with a pantile roof and brick foundations. Inside, the cottage includes a 17th-century inserted brick stack with two inglenook hearths, one of which has a later inserted baking oven, and an inserted hall floor with a fine moulded ceiling beam.
