St Anne's House

St Anne's House is a substantial building, largely of medieval origin with a mid-19th century extension. The construction is of red sandstone, with random rubble for the medieval sections and squared grey rock-faced sandstone rubble for the Victorian extension. The roofs are generally stone-tiled, with the rear kitchen wing covered in Welsh slate. The house is two storeys high, with an attic storey to the Victorian cross-wing, except for the single-storey rear kitchen wing.

The south end of the house is the oldest part. The south gable features a 3-light Decorated window, which appears to have been built in situ and was likely the altar window for a first-floor chapel. To its left is a large external stack in grey stone, projecting eaves; the chapel would not originally have been heated. The east elevation has medieval stonework on the left-hand (southern) half, with a 2-light window and a doorway with pointed heads, leading to an undercroft. Above these is a large triple lancet window, also appearing to be in situ. To the right of the lancet is a section of broken wall, formerly a gateway, rising to the eaves, with the lowest part in ashlar, which would have been the opening for the gate. On the ground floor is a 4-light trefoil-headed window in grey stone, a Victorian addition. Above it is a double lancet window in situ, and to the right a single one. The walling then transitions to grey stone and is of Victorian date, incorporating a pointed arch for a main entrance porch below, and a 2-light timber casement window above. A gabled bay features a door with sidelights, and two storeys above, each having a 2-light casement window. Stacks are situated on the ridge where the medieval and Victorian work join, and on the return wall of the gabled wing. The wall is otherwise largely blank above an added conservatory which connects the house to the adjacent Dairy. There is a two-storey addition in the angle, along with a single-storey kitchen wing. Other features include two tall stacks, one of red brick and one of stone, and several roof-lights.

The interior east window is described as being exquisitely treated, with shafts featuring capitals decorated with naive trefoiled stiff-leaf foliage and quatrefoils set within moulded circles. Adjacent to the window is a post-Dissolution chimneypiece, constructed from shafts and bases originally from the pulpitum of the abbey church.
