GV II

House, in row, possibly once 2 houses. Late C17 and later.
Rendered and colourwashed with stone dressings, Welsh slate
roof, brick chimney stacks.
EXTERIOR: 2 storey elevation continuous with that of No.3 (qv)
to left, but with internal alterations resulting in external
appearance of 2 storeys and attic on left and 3 storeys on
right. Ground floor has plain sash to left and 12-pane sash (4
panes wide) to right, and between them a part-glazed C19 door
with plain rendered surround and flat cornice. First floor has
an adapted ovolo-mould stone mullioned window with hoodmould,
formerly 3-light, now two-light and deepened, with horizontal
bar casements inserted, and to right a 20-pane sash.
Second floor has, on left a gable with 2-light wood casement
in an ovolo-mould surround with label, and on right a small
2-light casement flanked by two 4-pane sash windows. There is
a raised coped verge to the centre of the roof, left of the
doorway, and to the right-hand end, and brick stacks at each
party wall.
INTERIOR: not inspected, probably of interest.
SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: extending from front of house and
enclosing the front garden are railings on a low plinth, the
rails having necked tops and the standards cast-iron urn
heads, with gate opposite the door, adding to the setting of
the house and the streetscape generally.
The property backs onto Nos 17 and 19 Market Place (qv).
