2 Market Place

This building, located at 2 Market Place, is a house that was constructed around 1770, with an extension added to the west side around 1860. It has since been converted into offices.

The roofs are covered with a mix of pantiles and concrete tiles, while the walls are primarily made of red brick, with some areas rendered. The building has a roughly rectangular shape, with the eastern part dating back to 1770 and the western extension featuring a canted north-west angle.

The eastern section is three storeys tall and has a pitched roof that is gabled at both the north and south ends. It includes an internal gable-end stack on the south side. The red brick of the east range is laid in English bond, and its north gable is rendered. The east elevation features a single late-19th century two-light casement window on each floor.

The three-storey extension on the west side has a hipped roof, also covered with concrete tiles and pantiles. The walls of this extension are made of red brick laid in Flemish bond, with a dentil eaves course. The west elevation has a single bay of windows, and the ground floor shopfront includes a renewed plate-glass display window with a hood and canopy box. The first and second floors each have a three-over-three horned sash window set under segmental gauged arches. The canted angle features a half-glazed 20th-century door with a dentil cornice above, along with single-pane sash windows with horns on the first and second floors, also under segmental gauged arches.
