Description
35 Market Place is a former two-storey house built in the late 18th century. It was converted into a printing office in the mid-19th century and raised to three storeys in the mid-20th century, with later 20th and early 21st-century alterations for retail use.
The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, topped with a slate roof and brick stacks. The principal elevation features three storeys arranged in three bays. On the ground floor, there is an off-centre left doorway with a half-glazed door set in a pilastered surround with a plain entablature. To the right of the doorway is a three-light, square bay shop window, and to the left is a second half-glazed door, also with a pilastered surround and a shallow hood, both dating from the late 20th or early 21st century. Above these doors, there is a gauged skewback arch that originates from a late 18th-century window opening. Each of the upper floors has three two-over-two horned sash windows, with those on the first floor positioned beneath gauged skewback heads. A shallow brick frieze runs between the two floors. The gabled roof features rebuilt internal gable-end stacks on both the north and south sides.
Inside, the ground floor has been opened up into a single retail space.
