1 Market Street

1 Market Street is a symmetrical terrace built in the late Georgian style. It features four two-storey, three-window classical frontages, flanked by two three-storey, three-window advanced 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 the windows are sash types with glazing bars, except for No 4, which has 12-pane sashes on the first and second floors. Nos 1, 3, 4, and 5 feature lugged architraves, with No 1 having a reversed ogee top. Moulded keystones are present on Nos 3 to 5, while No 2 has Tudor-type hood moulds with moulded keystones and foliated stops. No 6 has voussoir lintels. The ground floor windows of No 1 match the upper treatment. No 2 has 16-pane sashes set in segmental arched recesses with hood moulds.

There are later multi-paned shop fronts at No 3, believed to be from around 1870, and a modern shop front at No 4. No 5 features a 12-pane sash window in a segmental arched recess with a keystone, along with a modern bay shop front, while No 6 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, which retains its original cornices and fanlight in the hallway. 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 and a six-panel door with a fanlight to the right. No 4 has a half-glazed door with a fanlight, while No 5 has a similar entrance to No 2 but with a panelled architrave and a split six-panel door with a fanlight. No 6 has a six-panel door and fanlight, with ornamental Gothic railings to the left over the basement entrance and a cobbled pavement in front.

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