93 Anchor House and 95 High Street, Blakeney
Grade II Listed mid 19th century houses. Originally one dwelling, shown on the 1824 enclosure map. In 1894 it was still one dwelling owned by a Mr Jacob Holiday who was using 91, the lean-to at the north gable, as his boot-makers shop. By the 1935 OS map it is shown as two dwellings. The OS map currently (2022) shows them as three properties, 93A being a relatively narrow section in the centre, the date of splitting unknown. At that time, into the 21st century, the building had two doors on the High street. 93A's door and ground floor window has now been replaced with the current door and 93's old door has been removed. This is probably how it had been originally. 93A was last sold in September 2010 and planning for conversion back to one property was granted in July 2011. Replacement of the two doors and window was granted in October 2013. Planning for no.93 in 1983 allowed the cobblers shop and building equipment store to be converted to an office. Access to no.95 is via the door in the garden wall, south of the building. 95 seems to have been converted to a single bedroom above a parlour with a single storey kitchen to the rear and a WC and coal house in a separate building. A second bedroom above the kitchen was added later, probably late 19th or early 20th century. Later still, a single storey extension to the kitchen connected it to the outside WC and coal house. In 2017 planning approved works to add an entrance lobby, enlarge the kitchen and add an additional bedroom and first floor bathroom to no.95.
