End-of-terrace two-bay three-storey house, built c.1860, with timber shopfront and extension to rear. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered plinth. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Timber shopfront comprising replacement stallriser, pilasters and display window and fascia. Original console brackets and cornice.
Overlooking the Market Square, Hackett's Bookmakers has some notable architectural features. A timber stallriser and console brackets adorn the shopfront, while the upper floors are enhanced by characteristic timber sash windows and cast-iron rainwater goods. Hackett's Bookmakers, though a modern commercial venture, retains a smart exterior due to its traditional styled shopfront.
