Description
1 and 2 Market Street are shops and dwellings with a later 18th-century front that likely conceals a 17th-century core. The building is constructed of brick, featuring a slate roof with a shallow front pitch and a plain tile roof on the rear pitch, along with a brick end stack. It stands three storeys tall and has a five-window range. The windows include plain sashes, with late 19th-century sashes featuring old glass on the far left, all set in broad cases and under gauged brick flat arches. There is a storey band present. To the right, two 3/6 sashes are located under timber lintels, interrupting the storey band, while to the left, there are two late 19th-century plain sashes under gauged brick flat arches, also with a storey band above. The eaves are brick modillioned stone.
The entrance on the right is canted and features a 19th-century glazed tile shopfront with curved two-leaf doors. To the left of the entrance, there is a wide 2/1 sash under a moulded cornice with wood modillions on fluted consoles and plain pilasters. A shuttered opening is located to the left, under a gauged brick flat arch. There is a plank door and a half-glazed, two-panel door to the left, both in plain cases under segmental arches. The far left features an early 19th-century two-light shop window with glazing bars under a shallow segmental arch, all beneath a storey band. The ground floor has a canted rubble return.
The return to Raven Lane displays a coved ashlar corbel over the entrance, a 6/6 sash under a segmental arch, and a two-light casement in a partly blocked opening under a segmental arch. The rear pitch has a stone-coped gable and a mullioned window under a segmental arch on the ground floor. The brickwork is in English garden wall bond.
