12, Market Hill

No. 12 Market Hill is a house dating from the early 19th century, although it has earlier origins. It is timber-framed and rendered, topped with plain tile roofs. The building has two storeys and features two plain tile roofed lean-tos on the south-east side, along with a forward corrugated asbestos roofed lean-to. There is also a long single-storey outbuilding range along the south-east boundary, which has sections with plain tiles and pantiles.

The front of the house slightly projects forward and has a plain parapet. This section has a hipped roof at the front of a long wing that runs at right angles to the main facade, with a gable at the rear. On the first floor of the projecting part, there is a 16-pane sash window with a moulded surround. The ground floor features a doorcase with a hood and plain architrave, leading to a four-panel door. There is also a canted flat-roofed bay window with a cornice and a small-paned sash window.

To the north-west, there is another doorcase with a hood, reeded pilasters, and remnants of a wrought-iron handrail. The door here has two glass panels above two raised-and-fielded panels and two moulded panels. A small window is present on the flank lean-to, and old plaster is visible on the exposed flank. A large chimney stack is located astride the ridge of the wing, and there is a double-hung sash window on the first floor at the rear. The interior has not been inspected. The house may have originally been a late medieval cross-wing.
