Description
No. 7 Market Place is a house from the mid-19th century, previously known as No. 12 Market Place. It is constructed of brown-streaked yellow bricks with ashlar dressings and features a graduated Lakeland slate roof with gable copings. The building has three storeys and one window. There are steps leading up to a six-panel door with a plain overlight, set within a tall doorcase that includes pilasters and an entablature.
To the right, there is a shallow canted tripartite bow window on a painted rendered plinth, which has been updated with fixed lights that imitate sash windows and include fine glazing bars, along with an altered cornice. The first floor features a shallow tripartite bow window with four-pane sashes and a cornice, while the second floor has similar sashes with flat pointed-arched top lights, flat stone lintels, and projecting stone sills. The building is topped with a prominent eaves gutter cornice, and the roof has flat stone gable copings along with end brick chimneys, the left one featuring tapered square yellow pots.
