22 And 23, Market Place

Nos. 22 and 23 Market Place is a shop built in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof with stone gable copings. The building is designed in the Gothic style and has three storeys plus attics, with two bays.

The ground floor shop has new glazing set beneath two wide arches, which are flanked by three narrower arches that have moulded heads. The fascia brackets are shafted. The upper floors are adorned with stone-mullioned windows, each with two lights, cusped heads, and flower-stopped drip moulds. Notably, there is a one-storey canted bay on the first floor with arched recesses that contain lancet windows beneath a pierced quatrefoil parapet, which serves as a balcony for the second floor. The half-dormers feature paired lancets under stepped gables topped with fleur-de-lis finials. The gutter cornice is supported by flower-carved stone brackets and includes rainwater heads, while the second-floor string has similar moulding encircling the drainpipe.
