Description
17 Market Street is a two-storey building featuring a three-window facade with scribed render, roughcast, and pebbledash in a simple classical style. The front includes lugged end pavilions, with No 17 on the right being detached and having wide boarded eaves. The roofs of Nos 15 and 16 are slate with narrow eaves, while there are four cement render chimney stacks (one heightened in brick) and one rubble chimney stack. The building has rusticated quoins on Nos 14 to 16 and end pilaster strips on No 17, along with plinths and a cill band on No 15, and roof cresting on No 16.
The windows are sash glazed, with two-light windows on the first floors of Nos 14 to 16 and a 12-pane window on No 17. There are later four-light sashes on the ground floor of No 14, two-light sashes on Nos 15 and 16, and a 16-pane window on No 17. The entrances feature lugged architraves, which are rusticated on No 15, all with keystones. Nos 14 and 17 have bracketed hoods above their central entrances, which include pilaster strips, while the entrances to Nos 15 and 16 have lugged architraves, with No 15 being rusticated. The doors are panelled for Nos 14, 15, and 17, with a modern door at No 16, all accompanied by plain fanlights.
There is a boarded door leading to a lane at the rear between Nos 16 and 17. The right end wall of No 17, which faces Victoria Street, is roughcast and features end pilaster strips, along with 12-pane sash windows that have lugged architraves and keystones. There is also a roughcast extension at the rear. No 17, known as Ianthe House, was formerly an inn and served as a meeting place for the Aberaeron Benefit Society.
