Description
No. 10 Market End is a combined building made up of two houses and a garage, dating from the late medieval period and the 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th century and in 1986. The structure is timber framed and weatherboarded, topped with handmade red plain tiles.
The western part of the building is a late medieval range with four bays and a gable end facing the street, featuring an internal stack on the left and standing two storeys tall. The eastern part is an 18th-century shorter parallel range that rises three storeys. The left range has a 20th-century fixed window with eight lights on the ground floor and a 20th-century sash window with sixteen lights in an early 19th-century style on the first floor. It also has a small gable and a short connecting roof to the adjacent house at No. 2 West Street. The right house includes a nearly full-width garage door, a sash window similar to the first on the first floor, and a 20th-century casement window on the second floor. The roof is hipped at both the front and back, with the rear elevation and the left return of the second storey weatherboarded, while the rest is plastered.
The left house features an underbuilt jetty at the front. Although internal studding has been removed, mortices and wattle grooves suggest that there was originally a through-passage on the left side leading to a small enclosed area on the right front, likely used as a shop. The plain joists in the front bays are arranged longitudinally, while those in the rear bays are transversely placed. There is an 18th-century hearth with a rounded back, 0.23 metre jambs, and an unchamfered mantel beam located at the rear of a large enclosure that represents the external stack of No. 2 West Street.
An early 19th-century staircase with three flights features turned newels, a moulded handrail, and turned balusters added in 1986/7. The roof was rebuilt in the 18th or 19th century, and there are introduced internal doors, including one with re-used 19th-century linenfold panelling. The ground floor of the right range consists of a full-length garage that is fully plastered internally. Other introduced features are present, along with the original roof that includes dragon ties supporting the hip rafters.
