Property description
OVERVIEW In our opinion a stunning example of 16th century architecture, once believed to have been owned by George Parsons, Master Ship builder, when he took up the post of Shipwright in the Royal Dockyard in 1740. During his tenure at the Dockyard he was responsible for the building of 13 HMS vessels, the largest having 72 guns. The adjoining terraced properties were built between 1790 and 1820 to accommodate workers from the yard. In the present day, The Anchorage offer 4 bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, bathroom, ground floor cloakroom, utility room and detached garage. Located a stone's throw away from the Water, this is the ideal character retreat.
