Structure
editOriginally 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
editIn 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]
