Description

57, 59 and 61 King Street are three houses that have been converted into a row of three shops. They date from the late 16th century to early 17th century and are timber-framed, with the front elevation rendered. The roof is made of Welsh slate. Each building has been adapted into a single-unit plan with a low upper storey, although the internal layouts have been extensively modified over time. The row features two low storeys and a six-window range, with inserted shop fronts on the ground floor and renewed upper windows.

Inside, the timber framing is exposed, especially in No. 61, where the ceiling has been removed to reveal square paneling on the walls, jowelled corner posts, and a queen post roof with wind bracing. Nos. 59 and 57 each have decorative panelled ceilings that likely date from the early 17th century in the upper rooms. The ceiling in No. 59 features a central laurel wreath lozenge with a strapwork centre-piece, flanked by angels with trumpets in high relief. No. 57 has a similar lozenge and strapwork design.
