Description
No. 18, King Street is a small town house dating from circa 1775. The front is constructed of brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, topped by a grey slate roof. The house is three storeys high with two windows on each level. It has a painted stone plinth, incorporating a boot-scraper recess. A replaced doorway features a covered step, a door of six fielded panels, and a three-pane overlight. The windows are flush sashes with painted stone sills and rusticated wedge lintels adorned with gadrooned dropped keystones. The first and second storeys each contain two unequal six-pane sashes, while the third storey has two four-pane sashes. A three-course brick band runs along the base of the eleven-course parapet, which is finished with a plain stone cap. The rear gable is rendered, with replaced windows: a three-light casement to the first storey, a two-pane casement to the second storey, and a two-pane casement to the third storey. The gable is coped. The interior was not inspected.
