14 Market Street

14 Market Street comprises a group of three buildings forming a two-storey, three-window range, with a detached building to the right (No. 17). The buildings date from the 18th century and exhibit a simple classical style. The frontages are rendered, finished with roughcast and pebbledash, and feature lugged end pavilions. No. 17 is detached, and has wide boarded eaves. The roofs are slate, with narrow eaves, while the chimneys are constructed from cement render (one heightened in brick) and rubble. Rusticated quoins are present on Nos. 14 to 16, and pilaster strips are a feature on No. 17. The buildings have plinths, a cill band on No. 15, and roof cresting on No. 16. Sash windows are present throughout, with two-light sashes to the first floors of Nos. 14 to 16, and twelve-pane sashes to No. 17. Later four-light sashes are found on the ground floor of No. 14, while Nos. 15 and 16 have two-light sashes, and No. 17 retains its original sixteen-pane sashes. The windows are set within lugged architraves, which are rusticated on No. 15, and all feature keystones. Bracketed hoods shelter the central entrances of Nos. 14 and 17, with pilaster strips, and the entrances to Nos. 15 and 16 are framed by lugged architraves, rusticated on No. 15. The buildings have two-panelled doors at Nos. 14, 15 and 17, with a modern door at No. 16, each with a plain fanlight above. A boarded door provides access to a lane located to the rear, between Nos. 16 and 17. The right end wall of No. 17, facing Victoria Street, is roughcast, with end pilaster strips, twelve-pane sash windows, lugged architraves, and keystones. A roughcast extension is present to the rear of the main block. No. 17, formerly known as Ianthe House, was previously an inn and served as a meeting place for the Aberaeron Benefit Society. A separate property to the rear of No 15 is located on Castle Lane.
