Description
Number 6 Market Street is a building dating from around 1820, constructed of yellow stock brick with a banded stucco ground floor and a slate roof. It stands three storeys tall and features a central door with a geometrical fanlight, flanked by sash windows that have architrave and cornice surrounds. There are four vertically-hung sash windows on the first floor and four square sash windows on the second floor, all with rubbed brick lintels. The building has plain eaves and a 19th-century foot scraper near the modern steps leading to the door.
To the south, Number 6 extends into an early 19th-century section that fronts a timber-framed building from the 17th century or earlier. This part has modern rendering and a concrete tile hipped roof, standing two storeys high. It features a ground floor dentil cornice and two first floor triple-hung modern sash windows, along with exposed oak ceiling beams and an old console in the front ground floor.
