32 And 34, King Street

32 and 34 King Street are a pair of town houses dating from the early to mid 18th century, with their fronts refurbished around 1840. The houses feature brown brick in Flemish bond on the front, while No.34 has been rendered in the 20th century. No.32 has a grey slate roof, and No.34 has a red clay tile roof.

The exterior includes a sandstone plinth with a moulded cap. The entrance to No.32 is located at the east end and features a door with six fielded panels, framed by plain pilasters and a Doric pediment. The entrance to No.34 is at the west end, with a door of four fielded panels set in a case with pilasters and an entablature. Both houses have recessed sash windows with painted stone sills and rusticated wedge lintels with keystones. Each house has four 16-pane sashes on the first and second storeys and two pairs of 12-pane sashes on the third storey, topped with a cornice. The rear of the houses has two gables and a flat-roofed one-storey extension added to both. Each house also features a 12-pane flush horned sash on the first and second storeys, an inserted door from the second storey to the flat roof, and a pair of 12-pane sashes on the third storey.

Inside, No.32 has a brick barrel vault in the rear part of its 18th-century cellars, with sandstone rubble walling below the springing of the vault and stone steps. The first storey front room has a door with four fielded panels, but other features have been stripped away. The back room includes a door of four fielded panels and an inglenook with a reused or altered oak bressumer on a sandstone pad at the rear end. The softwood stair has a narrow well, open string with shaped brackets, turned newels, three plinthed turned balusters per step, a swept rail, and a panelled swept dado with panelled pilasters. On the second storey, there are two doors with six margined panels in cases with broad moulded architraves. The stair to the third storey is detailed similarly to the lower stair, and the third storey has three doors with two fielded panels. The interior of No.34 could not be inspected.
