Description
No. 33 King Street is a shop building from the later 19th century that has been altered. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan positioned at right angles to the street and displays an eclectic architectural style.
It stands four storeys high, divided into two stylistically contrasting halves. The lower half consists of one wide bay, with ground and first-floor openings set beneath a full-width segmental arch that has moulded imposts and a keyed head. The ground floor features corner pilasters with crocket capitals, along with a 20th-century shop front. The first floor includes a three-light window, where the outer lights are oriels with pargetted underhangs and swept lead roofs, topped by a pargetted tympanum.
The upper half of the facade showcases a muscular Gothic style, complete with bracketed sill-bands and corbel tables. The first-floor windows are shouldered segmental-headed sashed windows, with the central windows coupled and separated by a crocket-capital shaft. The second floor has similar windows in the outer bays, while the centre features a two-centred arch containing two arched sashed lights with matching shafts, topped by a gable flanked by simple pinnacles. The building is included for its group value.
