10, Cornmarket

No. 10 Cornmarket is a house that has been converted into a shop with offices above. It dates from around 1760 and has undergone various additions and alterations, including a shop front added around 1900 and a late 20th-century attic at the rear. The building is constructed of pinkish-red brick in Flemish bond, featuring painted and stuccoed quoins and lintels with stone sills, cornice, and copings, and has a concealed roof.

It stands three storeys high and has four first-floor windows. The stucco details include quoins at the ends of the first and second floors, and the first- and second-floor windows have splayed and peaked lintels with sunk panels. The windows are 6/6 sashes set in plain reveals, with taller windows on the first floor; the second window on both floors is blind. A moulded crowning cornice and a coped parapet with end and central pilasters complete the exterior.

On the ground floor, the shop front features banded and panelled pilasters, with the upper panels fluted and adorned with ornate scrolled caps. There are off-centre entrances on the left and right; the left entrance has a part-glazed door with an overlight featuring round-arched glazing bars, while the right entrance has a five-panel door with round-arched upper panels and an overlight, along with a keystone in the frieze. The replacement windows project in rectangular bays with canted overlights, which also have round-arched glazing bars and keystones in the frieze. The left return of the building has a ground-floor shop front that is angled on plan, featuring a renewed plinth and glazing, with an end pilaster and pilasters flanking the renewed part-glazed door, along with a frieze and cornice. The rear of the building retains an 8/8 sash window.

Inside, the property retains original joinery and plasterwork, including a closed-string, dogleg staircase with rod-on-vase balusters leading from the first floor, with balusters on the upper landing featuring square knops and a moulded handrail.
