Description
29 Market Place is a house that has been converted into a shop and restaurant. It dates from the late 18th century and has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The front is made of painted brick, while the rear features rubble construction with a roof of stone slates and stone gable coping. The building has three storeys and a two-window range, with a passage on the right leading to Waterloo Yard.
The shop front has a full-width fascia, a window with low stall-risers, slender mullions, and a canted recessed central entrance with a glazed door. Above, there are two corniced canted bay windows with plain sashes, and the paired windows on the top floor have chamfered heads and a central shaft. The eaves feature a brick dentilled cornice. The low-pitched roof has gable coping at the right end and no visible chimney.
The rear facing Waterloo Yard includes small square lights above the passage and a quadrant stair wing with fixed lights. The two-storey rear wing has an irregular arrangement of windows, with a plain stone lintel in the rendered part next to the front range and plain stone surrounds for the door and sashes. The interior features a stone winder stair located in the rear wing.
