3 Market Street

3 Market Street is a late Georgian terrace featuring four two-storey, three-window classical frontages, flanked by two three-storey, three-window end pavilions with hipped roofs. The buildings at Nos 1 to 4 have roughcast fronts, while Nos 5 and 6 are finished with scribed render. No 1 has end pilaster strips, and Nos 2 to 4 display rusticated quoins and plinths. The roofs are slate, with wide boarded eaves and rendered and brick chimney stacks.

All windows are sash style with glazing bars, except for No 4, which has 12-pane windows on the first and second floors. Nos 1, 3, 4, and 5 feature lugged architraves, with No 1 having reversed ogee tops, and Nos 3 to 5 showcasing moulded keystones. No 2 has Tudor-style hood moulds with moulded keystones and foliated stops, while No 6 has voussoir lintels. The ground floor windows of No 1 match the upper treatment, and No 2 has 16-pane sashes set in segmental arched recesses with similar hood moulds.

No 3 has a later multi-paned shop front, believed to be from around 1870, and No 4 features a modern shop front. No 5 has a 12-pane sash window in a segmental arched recess with a keystone, along with a modern bay shop front, while No 6 also has a bay shop front. The central arched entrance to No 1 is framed by a bracketed hood on pilasters, leading to a six-panel door and a seven-pane fanlight, both retaining original cornices. No 2 has an arched entrance of two orders with a hood mould, a six-panel door, and a five-pane fanlight. No 3 features a central half-glazed door, with a six-panel door and fanlight to the right; No 4 has a similar half-glazed door with a fanlight. No 5 mirrors No 2's entrance but has a panelled architrave and a split six-panel door with a fanlight, while No 6 has a six-panel door and fanlight, along with ornamental Gothic railings over the basement entrance and a cobbled pavement in front.

The Bridge Street elevation of No 1 has a two-window scribed render that extends to the bridge, with similar window treatment. The right end wall of No 6 is also scribed render. A whitewashed rubble extension at the rear is not of special interest.
