Description
No. 10 King Street is a small town house, likely built in the mid-18th century and restored in the 1970s. The building features brown brick in Flemish bond on the front and is rendered at the rear, topped with a grey slate roof that is hipped at the front and has a ridge running at right angles to the street. It stands three storeys tall with one bay.
The front has a rendered plinth and two refaced steps leading to a replaced recessed door made up of four fielded panels, which is topped by a cast-iron radial bar fanlight set in a round arch. On the first storey, there is a recessed sash window with slender glazing bars, a stone sill, and a gauged brick flat arch. The second storey features two nearly flush 12-pane sashes under cambered brick heads, while the third storey has one nearly flush 9-pane sash with a cambered brick head. A moulded cornice sits below a five-course parapet with a coved stone cap.
At the rear, the full-width gable includes a six-panel door with a replaced one-pane overlight, and a nearly flush 16-pane sash on the first storey. The second storey has two similar but narrower sashes, and the third storey features a 12-pane unequal sash. All these windows have been replaced and are horned, with painted stone sills and cambered heads. There is a chimney on the west side. The interior has not been inspected.
