Description

Anchor Cottage is a 18th-century single cottage that was formerly two separate cottages. It features washed rubble-stone walls and a thatched roof that is hipped at both ends, with no visible chimney stack. The building has two storeys and includes three windows, which are 2-light wooden casements with cills. There are also two front doors, located to the left and right of the centre, made of planks with glass lights at the top.
