Description
No. 2 Market Place is a house dating from the late 18th century, with a mid-19th century rear wing. It is constructed of good quality squared stone with cut dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has three storeys and two bays. The right bay contains a flush-panelled door with a five-pane overlight, and there are 12-pane sash windows, except for the second floor which has 9-pane sashes. The gables are coped, and there is a stepped-and-corniced stack at the left end with a tripartite shaft, while the right end stack has been rebuilt in 20th century brick on an old base. At the rear, there is a broad-gabled wing with two 16-pane sashes on the first floor, a 12-pane Yorkshire sash on the second floor, and a slit window in the attic.
