Description
Paris House, which includes Gwilliam, is a three-storey building from the late 19th century, featuring a two-window whitewashed rubble front that has earlier 19th-century origins. The upper floor is believed to be timber framed. It has a slate roof with boarded eaves and a rubble chimney stack that has been heightened in brick at the right end, along with a brick stack at the rear. The building has sash windows with marginal glazing bars and keystones.
The modern shop front includes a splayed central entrance and an imitation marble plinth. On the left end, there is a three-storey and attic section that is roughcast, with a casement window in the attic and 12-pane sash windows below, situated above a narrow ground floor lean-to. This lean-to has a plinth that extends back from the splayed shop window, similar to the main front, and features a 9-pane sash window beside a half-glazed door.
The rear of the building, facing Market Street, is finished in scribed render and includes a plinth and a slightly splayed out ground floor. Small pane sash windows are offset towards Market Hall.
