5-13, Market Street

Nos. 5-13 Market Street is a terrace of five houses with shops, with No. 13 now incorporating two buildings that were formerly part of No. 1 Peter Lane. This mid-19th century terrace is constructed of orange brick in Flemish bond, featuring ashlar dressings, some of which are painted. It has a timber eaves cornice supported by modillions and a slate roof with brick stacks. Attached to the rear of No. 13 are a 16th century building that is timber-framed, partially brick, and partially rendered, likely encasing original infilling, with a tiled roof, and an early 19th century building made of pink and cream mottled brick in Flemish bond, which includes a shopfront and timber modillioned guttering.

The exterior presents a 3-storey, 5-window front to Market Street. The ground floor has replaced and altered shopfronts. The first-floor windows are paired round-headed 8-pane lights set in segment-arched surrounds with pilaster jambs and moulded cornices. The second-floor windows are 2-light 4-pane casements with wedge lintels, and both floors feature raised sill bands.

On the left return of No. 13, which faces Peter Lane, the 16th century building has a 2-storey, 1-bay front with a jettied first floor, while the early 19th century building to the left has a 3-storey, 1-bay front. The 16th century part includes a 4-panel door with an overlight, situated to the right of tripled 8-pane sash windows above a moulded brick sillstring and beneath a continuous flush cornice. On the first floor, there is one 12-pane sash window. The early 19th century building features paired doors with 6 fielded panels and divided overlights, set in a doorcase with fluted pilasters, moulded imposts, and a continuous cornice. To the right, there is a tripartite window with a moulded sill and 4-pane sashes flanking a 16-pane sash. The first and second floors of this building have 16-pane sash windows with painted stone sills and cambered brick arches.

Inside the 16th century building, the framing on the ground floor is not visible, but the first floor appears intact with plastered infill panels. The roof is constructed with collar rafters and braced curved struts supporting side purlins.
