Anchor House

Anchor House is a house that has been converted into offices. It dates from the late 16th century but was mostly rebuilt in the early 19th century. The building is made of colourwashed brick and has a slate roof. It stands two storeys high and features five bays. The central doorway is round-arched and has an elaborate doorcase with a hood. The jambs are decorated with floral designs, and heavy scrolled and ribbed brackets support the hood. The door reveals have oversized billets. On the ground floor, there are four late 19th-century sash windows with moulded surrounds, while the first floor has five early 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars and similar surrounds. The building has a timber eaves cornice supported by cranked consoles and a gabled roof with internal gable-end stacks, along with a rear cross wing. Inside, the interior is plain, featuring a stick baluster staircase with a ramped and wreathed handrail. The roof of the cross wing has two tiers of butt purlins, curved windbraces, and chamfered collars.
