Description

No. 12 Market Place is a house that has been converted into offices. It was originally built around 1700 and remodelled around 1910 when the facade was updated. The building is constructed of brick, with a rendered front wall, and features a steeply pitched roof with a tumbled gable end covered in 19th-century slates. A parapet was added around 1910. The house has 18th-century ridge and end stacks and a main range facing the Market Place, with a service wing at the rear. It is two storeys high with an attic, although the dormers have been removed. The front elevation and window openings were altered in 1910, featuring raised round-headed arches for the coupled windows, but the doorway remains in its original position. The service wing is likely framed and rendered, with brick on the end and one side wall. Inside, there is one room on the first floor lined with bolection moulded panelling from around 1700, complete with an original overmantel and keyblock around the fireplace. Another first-floor room has a small bolection moulded fireplace surround, and a ground floor room features one wall lined with mid-18th-century panelling.
