6, Market Hill

This is a two-shop building, originally a shop and dwelling (now offices), dating to the late 18th or early 19th century, with earlier origins and later extensions and 20th-century alterations. The building is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, with a front facade of red brick in a Flemish bond with flared brick headers. It has a slate roof and brick end stacks. Originally a two-unit plan, it now presents as a three-bay, two-storey facade. The ground floor features a pilastered wooden shop front, likely dating to the early 19th century and altered in the 20th century. It contains doors to the left and right of centre, each with an overlight, panelled reveals, reeded wooden surrounds, and paterae at the top angles. The first floor has irregularly spaced, quartered sash windows with wooden surrounds, featuring gauged brick flat arches. Cogged brick eaves are visible. A side wall of coursed rubble shows a similar sash window at attic level, topped with a wooden lintel. To the left is a lower two-storey, one-bay wing with a 20th-century shop front on the ground floor and a sash window on the first floor, also with a wooden lintel. A two-storey wing extends to the rear right, built of red brick with a slate roof and a brick end stack. This wing is continued by a one-and-a-half-storey wing with a plain-tile roof and dentilled brick eaves, and a further one-storey extension with a slate roof.
