9 1/2 10 10 1/2 AND 11, KING STREET

These are four houses, now used as a public house, cafe, and shops. They were built in the late 18th century and have undergone alterations in the early and mid 19th century, and the 20th century, with restoration work carried out in the late 20th century. The construction is primarily brick, with the left side stuccoed, and features ashlar and brick dressings. The roofs are slate and plain tile, with two ridge stacks and two rebuilt side wall stacks. Four coped gables are present, along with wooden gutters and brackets.

The building is three storeys high and has eleven windows arranged in a 5:1:5 pattern. A projecting, pedimented central bay features a Venetian window with a corbelled sill, a 20th-century two-light casement above with an eared and shouldered surround, and below, an elliptical-arched carriage opening with imposts and multiple keystones.

The stuccoed left side has five plain sash windows, with five smaller blank windows above them on a sill band. All windows have slightly moulded surrounds. Above these, the three left bays have a plain parapet topped with a dentillated brick cornice. A full-width, late 20th-century wooden shop front occupies the ground floor, featuring simple pilasters and a fascia, with a recessed central door flanked by two single-pane windows with toplights.

The right side features five 12-pane sashes on the upper floors, with five 2-light, late 20th-century casements above. These windows have concrete sills and brick flat arches. Two late 20th-century shop fronts are located on the ground floor, protected by full-width tiled canopies. The smaller left shop front has a 6-panel door and overlight, with a wooden bow window with glazing bars to the left. The larger right shop front has a door and fanlight to the left and a large glazing bar shop window to the right.

The rear of the building centrally displays a restored Venetian window with plain stone members, a 20th-century two-light casement above, and another similar casement inserted above that. An elliptical carriage arch with voussoir detailing is present below, with a shuttered window and a fielded 6-panel door with a blank overlight to the right of the arch.

A rear wing to the left is three storeys high with a two-window range of 12-pane sashes, rendered lintels, and two metal-framed glazing bar casements above. The lower rear wing, also three storeys high, has a loft door on the upper floor to the left and two metal-framed glazing bar casements to the right. A panelled door and a larger metal-framed casement are present on the ground floor.
