Description

27 and 27A Market Place is a former house built in the late 17th century, with alterations and additions from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It was converted into a shop with living accommodation above in the late 19th century.

The building is constructed of flint and brick, with the ground floor rendered and whitewashed. It features a pantile roof and brick stacks. The exterior consists of two storeys in two bays. The ground floor has an off-centre right multi-paned door set in a reeded surround, topped with a timber hood supported by modillion consoles. To the right of the door is a two-over-two horned sash window with a shallow timber hood on curved brackets, while to the left is a late-19th century canted shop front with plate glass display windows and diamond-shaped transom lights. On the first floor, there is an eight-over-eight unhorned sash window in the left bay and a smaller six-over-six unhorned sash window in the right bay, both featuring brick quoins and 19th-century timber hoods. The parapet, raised in the 19th century in Flemish bond brick, is topped with 19th-century cast-iron cresting. Behind the parapet is a gabled roof with a flat-topped dormer that has a two-light casement. The two gable end stacks were rebuilt in the 20th century.

Inside, the east wall has a blocked fireplace that previously had a winder staircase on the south side. The ground and first floors feature chamfered bridging beams with tongue stops, and the 18th-century roof includes principals, two tiers of taper-tenoned butt purlins, and collars.
