Description
The Market House and Market House Cottage is a house that likely dates back to the 17th century, featuring an early 18th-century facade. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick with a mixture of red and smut, topped with a pantiled roof. The building stands three stories tall and has five bays.
On the ground floor, there are four outer sash windows with glazing bars, and two inner, thinner sash windows with glazing bars flanking the entrance door. The first floor has five sash windows, and the second floor has four, all with glazing bars; however, the thinner windows on the second floor have been blocked up. All the sash windows are wooden framed and slightly recessed, set under flat rubbed brick arches. The first floor features earlier sashes with thick glazing bars.
A notable feature of the building is the fine wooden porch, which has fluted Tuscan Doric columns in antis and matching fluted pilasters. The porch is adorned with an entablature that includes guttae and a triglyph frieze, topped by a triangular pediment with guttae and a leaded roof. There is a brick platband on the first floor with moulded upper and lower strings, and later moulded gault brick coping on the attic parapet. The building has two end stacks and one off-centre stack, with the roof recessed behind the second-floor parapet. Market House Cottage is attached to the rear of the Market House.
