Description
Anvil House is a house dating from the 17th century or earlier. It is timber framed and the exterior is plastered with ashlar, topped with a hipped roof covered in peg tiles. The eaves are coved and there are two stacks along the ridge line. The front of the house has two double-hung sash windows with small panes and moulded surrounds on each floor. A central, pedimented doorcase from the early 19th century provides the front entrance. The front door itself is made up of six panels, with the upper two being glazed.
