Description
85 Market Place is a house built in the late 18th century that was later converted into a shop with accommodation above around 1900. The materials used include pebble-dashed and whitewashed brick, topped with a roof of black-glazed pantiles.
The building has a long rectangular plan facing west onto the Market Place, with adjoining outbuildings at the rear. It stands two storeys high with an attic beneath a steeply pitched roof that features a parapet. The roof includes one flat-topped dormer window fitted with a two-over-two pane horned sash, and there is an internal red brick chimney stack on the right gable end.
The ground floor is characterized by a curved plate-glass shopfront from around 1900, which has a deeply projecting canopy box and a tiled stallriser made of black brick-sized tiles. The first floor is illuminated by two recessed two-over-two pane horned sash windows.
