Anchorage Hotel, 147, 149 Templehill, Troon

The Anchorage Hotel, located at 147 and 149 Templehill in Troon, is an early 19th-century building that has undergone later additions and alterations. It features a symmetrical design with two storeys and an attic, consisting of a three-bay plain classical hotel flanked by two-storey, three-bay wings. The exterior is finished with painted render over Pans Rock dolerite, with painted dressings, a raised base course, a lintel course beneath the corniced eaves, and a painted blocking course. The central block has long and short quoins and surrounds to its openings, while the entrance is highlighted by pilasters. The flanking wings have strip quoins and plain margins. The building has a rectangular plan with a random rubble pitched addition at the rear and later additions on both the left and right sides.

On the north elevation, the entrance features a boarded timber door at the centre of the ground floor, with a blind fanlight above. This is surrounded by a doorpiece that includes flanking pilasters, a plain frieze, a cornice, a block pediment, and a raised keystone. There is a single window centred on the first floor, with a bipartite box-dormer above. The bays flanking the entrance each have single windows on both floors and three-light canted dormers above. The left wing has a two-leaf timber door in the outer right bay, with bipartite windows in the remaining bays to the left and single windows in two bays on the first floor. The right wing features a centred two-leaf timber panelled door at the ground floor, a bipartite window in the bay to the right, a single window in the bay to the left, and single windows in two bays on the first floor.

The building has replacement two-pane glazing throughout and a grey slate roof, with piended roofs on the flanking wings. The rainwater goods have been replaced, and there are corniced apex stacks to the east and west, with the eastern stack rendered. Various circular cans are also present. The interior was not seen in 1997.
