Terraced L-plan property, built c.1820, forming inner corner of rows of buildings, and comprising three-bay west-facing block with two-bay block to north-west. Now also in use as public house and restaurant. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and painted stone eaves courses. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls with render quoins.

Full-width recent shopfronts to ground floors.
Appraisal
This large-scale building occupies a distinctive re-entrant corner site on Market Square and is an imposing feature in the streetscape. It retains much notable form and fabric, particularly the distinctive neo-classically designed window surrounds to the first floor.
