30, Market Street

No. 30 Market Street is a house that has been converted into a shop and studio. It dates from the early 18th century and is built of brick with a tile roof and brick end stacks. The building is designed in the Georgian style and has an L-plan layout. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and features a four-window range. The top of the building has a wooden cornice with modillions.

The shop front, added around 1900, includes Art Nouveau details on the pilasters, fascia with end brackets, and scrolled cast-iron cresting. There is a recessed entrance with a 20th-century door, and a round-headed entry on the left side that has a rubbed brick arch and keystone above a four-panel door. The first floor has windows with rubbed brick segmental arches over eight-pane sash windows that have thick glazing bars, and the attic features two gabled dormers. At the rear, there is a gabled wing with a large lateral stack.

Inside, the building has an open-well staircase with an open string, moulded tread ends, panelled square newels, column-on-vase balusters, and a moulded handrail. There are two fielded-panel doors, one of which has H-L hinges. A niche on the first floor is above fielded-panelled cupboard doors and features an architrave, keystone, deep cornice, and shaped shelf edges. This building is a good example of an early Georgian town house.
