Description
No. 20 Market Place is a house that has been converted into a shop and offices, dating from the mid-18th century. It is built of coursed squared stone with ashlar quoins and dressings, topped with a roof of stone slates featuring a stone ridge, gable coping, and a chimney. The building has three storeys and a two-window range. On the left side, there is a painted tooled stone surround for the yard-passage door. To the right, there is a 20th-century shop front with a central recessed entrance and a large fascia that may cover earlier details. Above the shop front, there are plain stone surrounds for plain sash windows, with those on the top floor being almost square. The low-pitched roof has gable copings on moulded kneelers, while the chimney on the right end has been truncated and the left chimney has been removed. The interior has not been inspected.
