Description

The Market House Tavern is a public house built around 1840 to 1850. It features a stucco exterior and has a pair of hipped roofs made of Welsh slate, with rendered stacks on both sides. The building stands three stories high and has three bays.

At the center, there is a recessed entrance door from the 20th century, framed by a moulded architrave casing. On either side of the entrance are fixed casement windows with overlights, and there is a brown tiled panelled apron below. Paired pilasters are located at the corners and between the door and the windows, with a timber frieze and cornice running across the top.

On the first floor, a tripartite window features a central sash flanked by narrow sashes, with fluted pilasters dividing the lights, along with a frieze and cornice above. Each side has a 4-pane sash window set beneath a flat rendered arch. The second floor contains three 16-pane sash windows. The left return of the building is similar but has two bays.
