Description
No. 26 Market Place is a house that has been converted into a shop and offices. It dates from the mid-18th century and was altered in the mid-19th century, with further changes made around 1980. The building is constructed of ashlar stone and has a Welsh slate roof. It stands three storeys tall and features a two-window range.
The central shop entrance includes a step up to a half-glazed door, which is flanked by Tuscan columns. To the right, there is a yard-passage door with a glazed door and a plain overlight. The ground-floor shop windows were modified around 1975. The building has canted oriel windows supported by convex brackets, with slender mullions, all beneath a full-width fascia and pent roof. These oriel windows rise as stone canted bay windows, which also create a hood over the shop entrance. The bays have convex sides and plain sash windows, with the top-floor windows being smaller. The building features an eaves band and a coped roof parapet, while the low-pitched roof has truncated end chimneys. The interior has not been inspected.
