Description

No. 5 Market Place is a house with attached railings, dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of Flemish-bond thin bricks with an ashlar plinth and dressings, topped with a concrete tile roof. The building has three storeys and features three windows. On the left side, there is a plain stone surround that frames a six-panel door, which is accompanied by half-glazed sidelights and a rectangular overlight with patterned radiating glazing bars. Foot scrapers are set into the recesses of the surround.

To the right, there is a two-storey shallow bowed projection. The windows have thin flat stone lintels and sills, with fine glazing bars. The projection contains wider windows, featuring a 16-pane window below and a 20-pane window above, and it has an eaves band and a coped low parapet. On the first floor, there is a 12-pane sash window to the left, with a 9-pane window above it and another 9-pane window above the projection. The roof has swept eaves and a thin projecting gable on the left, which includes a moulded kneeler, as well as transverse ridge end chimneys. Spear-headed wrought-iron railings connect the bow of the house to the quoins of No. 3 on the right.
