Description
14 Market Place is a house built in the late 18th century that was converted into a shop in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed from rendered and colour-washed brick, topped with a pantile roof.
Situated on a corner site, the building has a rectangular plan with a long, narrow wing extending to the northwest. It is two stories high and features a hipped roof with exposed rafter feet at the eaves. The south and east roof slopes include flat-roofed, two-light dormer windows that date from the 20th century and are fully integrated into the roof space.
The mid-19th century shop front wraps around the corner and originally had an entrance in the canted corner, which featured a pair of columns with foliated capitals supporting a nodding arch adorned with hollow mouldings and fleuron decoration. This entrance has since been replaced with a window. A cast iron corner bracket for a shop sign is mounted above the former entrance. The first floor on both the south and east fronts is illuminated by a two-over-two pane horned sash window, with the east window still having an external blind box. Additionally, there is a doorway with glazed upper panels on the south front, inserted in the 20th century, located to the left of the shop front and serving as the main entry to the shop.
