Description

4 Market Place is a house built around 1780 and converted into a shop around 1820. The roof is covered with pantiles, and the walls are made of painted brick.

The building is roughly square in shape and stands two storeys high, facing north towards Lynn Street. It features a pitched roof with gables on the east and west sides. The red brick walls are painted and include a dentil eaves course, along with an early 19th-century continuous platband above the ground floor. The ground floor has a late 20th-century half-glazed door on the left and a bowed early 19th-century shop display window with 24 panes on the right, topped with a moulded and dentilled cornice. On the first floor, there is a single three-over-six sash window without horns in a flush frame. The west gable end has two ground floor windows of different sizes, both three-over-six sash windows without horns, with the right window added in the 20th century. The first floor has a single six-pane window. The rear elevation includes a 20th-century lean-to outshut.

Inside, it is believed that the first-floor north wall features a painted mural of a landscape, possibly depicting potteries and a castle in the background, which may have been created in the late 18th or early 19th century.
