Description
29 Market Place is a house that was later used as a club, dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of rendered rubble with a painted plinth and ashlar dressings. The building features a slate roof with rendered chimneys and stands three storeys high with five windows. The central entrance has a double door and a blocked overlight, both set in a plain stone surround. On either side of the entrance are wide boarded windows with painted stone surrounds, and the upper floors have 4-pane sash windows, with the three on the second floor being smaller and all featuring slightly arched top lights. The steeply pitched roof has stone gable copings on moulded kneelers and end chimneys. The slates are possibly from Cumbria, showing a mixture of purple and grey tones. The right side of the building has a two-storey pent outshut. It is said that there may have been Venetian windows on the ground floor, with their heads possibly still visible beneath the render.
