Description
This building, located at 25 Horse Market in Barnard Castle, is a house that has been converted into a shop and office. It dates from around 1840, with a shop front added around 1930. The structure is made of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof with a stone chimney.
The building stands two stories high and has a two-window range. There is a step up to a six-panel door with an overlight on the right, set in a chamfered stone surround with broach stops. The shop front includes paired glazed doors in canted returns of a central recess, with a mirror strip in between. The plate-glass shop windows have top lights with grid pattern glazing bars, and there is a corniced flat fascia with a folding canopy supported by hinged iron stays.
Above the shop front, there is a canted bay window with a plate-glass center and sashed side lights, all under a cornice and flat roof. A plain sash window sits above the door on a sill band, also in a chamfered surround with a flat stone lintel. The eaves feature a decorative band, and the roof has a chimney at the left end with a top band. The interior has not been inspected. This building is included for its group value with other nearby structures.
