Anchorage, house in County Meath

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Detached double-pile two-bay two-storey house, built c.1780, with a four-bay single-storey extension to north, built c.1850, and with later porch and bay window additions. Pitched slate roof. Rendered walls with render quoins. Timber panelled door. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Outbuilding to site.

This house was built in the late eighteenth century, though many of the features of the building date to the late nineteenth century when it was renovated. The variety of timber sash windows of differing periods is an interesting feature of the building. The building is one of the larger buildings in the area, and makes a positive contribution to the village streetscape.
