Anchor Club and Attached Outbuilding

The Anchor Club, originally known as the Military Arms, is a public house turned club, dating from around 1840. The building features a rendered street front and left side, with English garden wall brickwork at the rear and right side, and squared Portland stone at the basement. It has a slate roof and brick end stacks. The structure is a compact, symmetrical block with a wide-span roof, situated on a site where the ground slopes steeply to the rear, allowing the basement to be at garden level.

The exterior consists of two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with two windows. The upper level has two-light casement flat-roofed dormers above 16-pane sash windows, while the ground floor features a doorway with a pair of flush-panelled doors and a plain fanlight, with the lower sash of the window having only a central bar. There is a small plinth, a cornice band, blocking, and a parapet that returns at the ends. On the left gable, there is a central door at the first-floor level accessed by concrete steps, and a brick and slate gabled outbuilding. The right gable has a small light positioned centrally. The rear includes two small two-light dormers with 16-pane sashes and a rubble basement wall.

The interior has been altered on the ground floor, but it was not inspected further. To the left of the main building is a small single-storey outbuilding featuring some rubble walling with large quoin stones and a slate roof. At the time of the survey, the building was empty and in a dilapidated state.
