Description
No. 1 (The Rookery) and No. 2 on Anchorage Hill appear to have early 19th century origins, though they may be older with later features added. No. 2 is a two-storey building with rough render and a Welsh slate roof. It has two modern casement windows and three irregular modern glass windows on the ground floor, along with a modern door.
The Rookery consists of two sections, with the left section being cemented. This part is also two storeys high and features two modern casement windows. The ground floor extends forward and includes two windows and a gabled wood and glass porch with carved bargeboards. The door has four panels, two of which are glazed. The porch is attached to a low stone wall that continues to No. 2. The right-hand section is also two storeys tall, with two windows that lack glazing bars, a modern pantile roof, and a cemented exterior. There is an external chimney to the right of the porch, dating from the 19th century, and a pilastered doorway with a heavy hood supported by consoles. The door has four fielded panels and two glazed panels. The side elevation rises three storeys along the slope of the hill and features a small mid-19th century shop front with plain pilasters and a window of three lights. This building is included as part of a group with Nos 1 to 7 (consecutive) and Rookery Neuk.
