Description
32 Horse Market is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the late 18th century, with a 19th-century shop front and a 20th-century shop front. The building is constructed from coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features a roof made of graduated stone slates with stone kneelers. It has two storeys and a four-window range.
The 20th-century shop front on the left includes a two-light plate-glass window. The 19th-century shop front on the right features slender colonnettes with foliage capitals supporting plate-glass windows, which have shaped and decorated heads, along with a recessed door and a renewed fascia. The first floor has closely-spaced sashes with glazing bars, flat stone lintels, and projecting stone sills. The low-pitched roof has a moulded kneeler at the right end, which is gabled and overlaid by adjacent properties. The left gable has a cyma-moulded kneeler, likely from a former house to the left, beneath raised and renewed coping. No chimneys are visible. The interior has not been inspected.
