Description
No. 27 Market Place is a hall house dating from the 15th century, with a floor added in the 17th century and remodelled around 1900. Originally, the hall featured a jettied design and was timber framed, with mock timber framing applied to the front during the 1900 renovation. The building has an old and 20th-century tiled roof. The 15th-century open hall includes a screens passage on the right. It has two storeys and an attic, with a two-window range. There are two 20th-century doors and early 20th-century three-light windows, along with a 20th-century roof dormer and a gabled roof.
Inside, there is a chamfered and stopped beam on the ground floor, and a timber-framed partition wall separates a room from what may have been the screens passage, which features a stone flag floor. The roof has two bays with an arch-braced collar-truss and butt purlins, and timber-framed closed trusses on the sides. At the rear, there is an early 18th-century two-storey wing that is rendered, with a hipped old tile roof and brick lateral stacks. The interior of this wing has a two-bay king-post roof.
