Description
22 King Street is a house that has been converted into shops and offices. It features a late 18th-century front with a core dating back to the 17th century. The building is constructed of brick and has a composite tile roof with a reduced brick end stack. It stands three storeys tall and includes a cellar, with a three-window range consisting of tripartite 1/1, 2/2, and 1/1 sashes, all set under gauged brick segmental arches. Above, there are similar smaller sashes, and the building has brick modillion eaves.
The central entrance features a part-glazed panelled door and a swagged fanlight, which is set in a round-headed case beneath a moulded open-pediment wood hood supported by scrolled and fluted consoles and moulded pilasters. To the left of the entrance are 20th-century shop windows, with a door included.
At the rear, there is a parallel range that reveals 17th-century timber-frame construction with rendered panels, and an early 19th-century 6/6 sash window. To the left, there is a stucco lean-to with a 20th-century round-headed light that jetties over a tripartite sash window.
Inside, the first floor features a jowelled post with a massive mutilated tie-beam and principal rafter, along with 6- and 4-panel doors, exposed 18th-century timber framing, a 20th-century wood fire surround, and exposed English bond brickwork with ceiling beams. The second floor has an exposed post, wall plate, and purlins, a 19th-century fireplace in the corner stack, and an 18th-century plank door with H-hinges. The ground floor showcases 17th-century exposed timber framing, chamfered ceiling beams and posts, and a plank door. The cellar is stone-lined.
