6, Market Square

This is a pair of 17th-century cottages, now combined into a single property, situated in Market Square. The construction is of snecked rubble, a technique where stones are deliberately offset during building. The cottages have two storeys and three windows, featuring small, later double-hung sash windows without glazing bars. Two large granite chimney stacks are present, each topped with moulded caps. The doorways are plain and recessed, and the roof is slate with gable end parapets incorporating volute kneelers, decorative features at the corners of the gable. Blocked two and three-light granite mullion windows are visible in the end wall. A pebbledash-rendered section from the 18th century adjoins the King’s Arms Inn; this section has one window and a splayed bay on the first floor, with a sash window on the ground floor, all beneath a slate roof. Nos. 6 and the King’s Arms Inn form a group of buildings of group value with the Church of St Just, the churchyard wall, and No. 4 Church Street.
