4 Market Street

4 Market Street is a late Georgian style building featuring four two-storey, three-window simple classical frontages. These are flanked by two three-storey, three-window advanced end pavilions with hipped roofs. The frontages of Nos 1 to 4 are roughcast, while Nos 5 and 6 have scribed render. No 1 has end pilaster strips, and Nos 2 to 4 feature rusticated quoins and plinths. The roofs are slate with wide boarded eaves, and there are rendered and brick chimney stacks.

All the windows are sash type with glazing bars, except for No 4, which has 12-pane windows on the first and second floors. Nos 1, 3, 4, and 5 have lugged architraves, with No 1 featuring reversed ogee tops. 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 have the same treatment as above, and No 2 has 16-pane sashes set in segmental arched recesses with hood moulds.

There is a later multi-paned shop front 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 and a modern bay shop front, while No 6 has a bay shop front as well.

The central arched entrance to No 1 is surrounded by a bracketed hood on pilasters and includes a six-panel door with a seven-pane fanlight, retaining original cornices and fanlight in the hallway. No 2 has an arched entrance of two orders with a hood mould similar to the flanking windows, featuring a six-panel door and a five-pane fanlight. No 3 has a central half-glazed door and a six-panel door with a fanlight to the right, while No 4 has a half-glazed door with a fanlight. 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 features 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 has a two-window scribed render stretching to the bridge, with similar window treatment. The right end wall of No 6 is also scribed render. There is a whitewashed rubble extension to the rear that is not of special interest.
