Description
4 and 6 Market Place are two shops dating from the mid-18th century. They are timber-framed, plastered, and colourwashed, with a slate roof and a pantiled roof on the rear cross wing. The building has two storeys and a three-window front. Number 4 features a 20th-century plate-glass shopfront with a central entrance. Number 6 has an early 20th-century butcher's shopfront, which includes a wide three-over-one sash window with an entrance to the left. The first floor is lit by three sashes with two-over-two panes. The building has a coved eaves cornice with paired modillions beneath a gabled roof, and there is a ridge stack on the rear wing.
