Description
No. 6 Market Place is a former house, now a surgery, dating from the early 19th century. The building is pebble-dashed with an ashlar plinth and has painted dressings. It features a Welsh slate roof and stands three storeys tall with two windows. The entrance consists of paired six-panel doors with patterned overlights on the right, set in plain stone surrounds with a shared central jamb; the right door likely leads to a yard. To the left, there is a shallow bow window with fine glazing bars, tripartite sashes, and a scroll-bracketed cornice. The first-floor windows are twelve-pane sashes with similar glazing bars and projecting stone sills, and they each have wrought-iron balconies, although the right one is damaged. The second-floor windows are nine-pane sashes. The eaves gutter is supported by plain brackets, and the low-pitched roof has a chimney at the left end, which was raised when the adjacent house was built to a higher level.
