Description

Anley House is a house completed in 1818, set back from the road in Settle. It is constructed of ashlar with a slate roof. The main house is two storeys high and three bays wide. The entrance porch features a frieze of metopes and triglyphs supported by four fluted Doric columns, with a rusticated surround to the interior, containing a six-panel door and a rectangular fanlight. The two ground floor windows have recessed aprons containing sills, while the three upper floor windows have projecting sills that continue as a sill band. All windows are sash windows without glazing bars. A broad eaves cornice with shaped modillions runs around the house, topped by a hipped roof and a left-hand ridge stack. The left-hand return presents a three-bay garden facade with a recessed central bay and a 19th-century semi-circular projecting conservatory constructed of cast iron and glass. To the north of the main house is a lower two-storey wing of five bays, incorporating similar details, including a first-floor sill band. Later 19th-century additions include a tower and stables. The house was built for John Birbeck (1781-1844).
