20 And 22, King Street

20 and 22 King Street are a pair of houses dating from the late 17th century, with alterations likely made in the late 18th century. They are constructed of sandstone rubble and feature a tile roof, following a double-depth plan. The buildings are two storeys high.

No. 20, located on the right, has two bays. Its windows have stone surrounds with moulded sills, and the first-floor windows consist of three lights that retain their flat-faced mullions. The left-hand ground-floor window has been altered to include two sashes with a central mullion, while the right-hand ground-floor window has been reconstructed with two sashes. The door, situated between the bays, features a chamfered surround typical of the 17th century. The stonework indicates the original wider window openings and shows evidence of a blocked fire window on the left side.

No. 22, on the left, is a single bay and may have been built at the same time as No. 20, although its openings have been modified. The ground-floor window has plain reveals, while the first-floor window has three lights with a plain stone surround and flat-faced mullions. The door on the left also has a chamfered stone surround. There are chimneys on either side of No. 20.

Inside No. 20, the left-hand room features two ceiling beams with quarter round mouldings; the left-hand beam is chamfered on one side, with mortices suggesting it was the upper of two firehood beams. The current shouldered fireplace dates from the 18th century. The right-hand room also has a beam with quarter round mouldings. At the rear, there is a dog-leg stair with turned balusters and a closed string. On the first floor, the stair is enclosed by walls featuring 17th-century moulded square panelling.
