Appraisal
An attractive house which is one of a pair with a similar building flanking the entrance to the adjoining old market place. Together with the market entrance and its pair, it forms an interesting set piece in the streetscape. Undoubtedly the market place and pair at one time had a shared function. Though much of its historic fabric has been lost, as a part of a group is forms a noteworthy and unusually addition to the streetscape.
