Structure

Originally a house, built in the 17th century, it has since been various restaurants. It is built of brick which has been rendered and colour-washed. It has a plain-tiled roof, with a central panelled main door, with a secondary one to the right. Between these two doors is a plate-glass sash window, dating to the late 19th century. Two more, modern, windows are located to the left of the main door.^[1]

The first floor has two late-19th-century sash windows.^[1]

The building, which has a gabled roof, was altered in the 20th century.^[1]

Occupants

In the mid-20th-century, the home was converted to a restaurant named The Charter House.^[1]

Between 1991 and 2001, it was Rococo, a fine-dining restaurant owned by Nick Anderson.^[2][3][4] Anderson closed the restaurant in 2001, before moving to Wells, Somerset,^[5] but returned in 2005.^[6]

The building was occupied between 2010 and 2020 by Market Bistro.^[7][8]
