Description

Nos 1 to 5 Upper King Street is an early 19th-century building constructed of stucco. The original roof has been replaced with new tiles. The main building consists of Nos 1 and 3, which features a parapet and cornice, standing two storeys tall with five windows. The windows have moulded shouldered architraves and sashes with glazing bars. There are moulded cornices on console brackets above panelled doors, which are topped with rectangular fanlights also in moulded shouldered architraves. A moulded string runs at the first-floor level, and pilasters with Anthemion ornament are located at the ends, with the moulded cornice breaking forward over them. No 5 is set back on the left and is two storeys high with two windows, designed in the same style. The right-hand return elevation facing Regent Road has five windows, although three of the window bays are modern. There is a vehicle entrance on the right side, and the rear has been restored and added to. Nos 1 to 29 (odd) and No 8 Tower Street form a group.
