Description

This building is a two-storey house with brown stone elevations and slate roofs, located on the corner of Banwell Street. It features a central chimney with four octagonal stacks and two first-floor gables that have mullioned windows set across the eaves. The central ground floor has a gabled porch leading to the entrance doorway, with a window on each side, although the glazing has been altered. The west elevation includes a gable with a mullioned window on the upper floor and a ground floor stone splayed bay window, from which the mullions have been removed, along with a mullioned window to the right.

Adjacent to the house is a former police station, which runs parallel to Martin Street and has two chimneys with paired octagonal stacks on the left side. The first floor features five large gables, each with mullioned and transomed windows, and there is a bandcourse between the floors. The ground floor includes a Gothic-arched entrance doorway with double-leaf doors and an overlight on the left, a mullioned window on the right, a doorway with a shouldered arch, and two square-headed openings that now have modern shopfront glazing.

The former market ranges at the rear have been altered and are no longer considered of special interest.

House sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,400 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 97% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 21 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 8 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
