Description
29 Market Hill is a Grade II listed building that was originally two separate structures but is now occupied as one. The northern section dates from the early 19th century and is constructed of red brick with a Welsh slate roof. It stands three storeys high and features two sash windows with glazing bars set in reveals under flat arches. The ground floor has a shop front. The southern section is an 18th-century building that previously had an old tiled roof, which has since been replaced with a machine-tiled roof, and its front has been rebuilt in red brick. This section has modern shop windows and five first-floor windows with cast iron balconettes, similar to those on the previous front elevation. The building also includes box dormers in a mansard roof.
