Anchor House

Anchor House is a 16th-century hall house that was once known as Ye Olde Anchor Inn, with 20th-century additions. The building features a timber frame with exposed close-studding and is underbuilt with painted brick, including a painted brick extension. It has a plain and fish-scale tiled roof. The original layout consists of a hall house with two projecting wings; however, the right wing was destroyed by bombing during World War II and has been replaced by a 20th-century brick extension.

The house stands two storeys tall on a plinth, with a projecting hipped wing to the left and overhanging eaves supported by brackets at the centre. The hipped roof has gablets and steps up to the right, with a central stack. The windows are arranged irregularly, featuring mullioned windows with sidelights on the left, and two wooden casements on both the first and ground floors. The doorway, originally leading to the screens passage, is located to the centre left and features solid spandrels cut and reversed from a single tree. It has an iron-studded part-repaired door, likely from Lynsted Lodge, topped with an embattled bressumer and flanked by two engaged and moulded boutels.

Inside, the house has a crown post roof, embattled dais, and beams in the screens passage, along with an inner door that has an ogee outline.
