2 Market Place

House built around 1770, with an extension to the west side around 1860; later converted to offices.

MATERIALS: The roofs have pantile and concrete tile coverings, and the walls are constructed of red brick, partly rendered.

PLAN: The building is roughly rectangular on plan: the east part was built around 1770, and the west part added around 1860, with a canted north-west angle.

EXTERIOR: The east range is three storeys high and has a pitched roof gabled to the north and south, with a concrete tile and pantile covering, and an internal gable-end stack to the south. The east range is constructed of red brick laid in English bond, and its north gable is rendered. The east elevation has a single late-C19 two-light casement window to each floor. The three-storey extension to the west side has a hipped roof with a concrete tile and pantile covering. The walls are of red brick laid in Flemish bond with a dentil eaves course and feature a single bay of windows to the west elevation and canted north-west angle. On the west elevation, the ground floor shopfront has 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 under segmental gauged arches. The canted angle has a half-glazed C20 door with dentil cornice above, and single-pane sash windows with horns to the first and second floors under segmental gauged arches.
