Description
Anchor Cottage is an 18th-century cottage located on the south side of The Street in Latchingdon. It features a timber frame, with parts weatherboarded and others clad in red brick laid in Flemish bond. The roof is covered with handmade red clay tiles. The cottage consists of two bays aligned north-south, with a third bay to the south now part of the adjacent Chestnuts. An external stack is positioned to the east of the northern bay. There are two single-storey lean-to extensions on the east side; one has a catslide roof that aligns with the main roof, while the other is covered with red clay pantiles. The northern gable end, facing The Street, serves as the entrance elevation. The cottage is two storeys tall and has one 19th or 20th-century casement window on each floor, along with a wide, plain boarded original door. Inside, there are chamfered axial beams and plain joists with a vertical section.
