23 And 24, Market Place

This is a late 18th-century house located on the west side of Wantage Market Place. The front is built of flared header bond brick with red brick quoins and dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof with late 19th-century decorative ridge tiles. A brick stack is also present. The house is two storeys high and has a four-window front. A 20th-century shop front features double doors and a late 19th-century cornice. Above it, original late 18th-century sash windows remain, each with a stone lintel. The roof is gabled, and there’s a rear lateral stack. To the rear of the property stands a contemporary two-storey section, built of Flemish bond brick, partially rendered, with a hipped roof covered in old tiles. The interior was remodelled in the 20th century.
