Description
33 and 35 Market Place is a pair of buildings, likely dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, that have been altered over time and are now used as two shops. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. It has a U-shaped plan with a central passage that leads to two rear wings. The building stands three storeys tall and features a one-to-one bay arrangement.
The front elevation includes a second-floor jetty supported by four Doric half-columns on the first floor, which have a noticeable curve, although their bases are not visible. The central passage is flanked by 20th-century shop fronts, which are not of special interest. Above the passage, there is a sash window with glazing bars set in a flush exposed sash box, while the outer bays each feature a segmental bow window—one with sashes and the other with sashes arranged in an 8:16:8 pane configuration. The second floor is adorned with four unevenly spaced sash windows that have projecting sills and flush timber architraves, along with a cornice. A stack is located at the right end of the building. The rear wings have extensions that are not of special interest, and the interior has undergone significant alterations.
