9 Market Place

House with shop, built in the early C19, with later alterations.

MATERIALS: of red brick in Flemish bond, the front elevation painted, with a pantile roof and brick stack.

PLAN: of a double-pile plan.

EXTERIOR: the principal elevation is of two storeys plus dormer attic in two bays. The ground floor has a late-C20 shopfront with a central plate-glass door flanked on each side by plate-glass display windows, over which is an early-C21 fascia. On the first floor, there are two two-over-two horned sashes with gauged brick heads. At the centre of the attic, there is a segmental-headed dormer with a three-over-three unhorned sash. An internal gable-end stack at the north end was rebuilt in the C20.

To the right-hand return, the north gable end of the front range has a one-over-one sash on the ground floor, which is rendered, while the unrendered first floor has a six-over-six sash. The gabled rear range has a blocked window opening to the ground floor, which is part rendered and part painted, and a C20 metal-framed casement to the first floor; the different patina in the brickwork to the gable head and its laying in stretcher bond indicates that it has been rebuilt, probably in the C20.

INTERIOR: the ground floor has been opened out into a single retail space with applied C20 timberwork.
