Description
No. 10 Market Place is a former house, now used as offices, dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with an ashlar plinth, quoins, and dressings. The roof is made of Welsh slate and features stone gable copings along with stone and ashlar chimneys. The building has two storeys and three windows.
The central entrance has a plain stone surround and a six-panel door topped by a large pointed hood supported on shaped brackets. The side bays contain tripartite sash windows with keyed plain stone surrounds and fine glazing bars, and there is a first-floor sill band below the window surrounds. The building has alternate quoins and a wooden eaves board with gutter brackets.
On the roof, there is a gabled dormer above the right bay, which has a four-pane sash window and a spike finial, along with flat stone gable coping and a shaped kneeler on the left. The left end stone chimney features moulded ashlar coping.
