1, KING STREET (See details for further address information)

No. 1 King Street, also known as No. 1 Palace Yard, is a shop and dwelling that features a 20th-century front built around a 16th-century core. The exterior displays a fake timber-frame and plaster design, topped with old plain tiles. The building has three storeys, an attic, and a cellar, with a two-window range. The central entrance is a half-glazed panelled door leading to a balcony, situated under a hipped plain tile roof and flanked by altered mullion and transom oriel windows. Above, there are mullion windows and three 20th-century gabled roof dormers with casements and pendants.

The early 20th-century shop front includes a central recessed door beneath a panelled soffit, flanked by plate glass windows in moulded cases, with a cast-iron frieze and moulded cornice above, supported by cast-iron brackets. To the right, wooden steps lead to a six-panel door set in moulded reveals between pilasters. The left side of the building is roughcast, featuring a moulded bressumer, old soffit timbers, and a pierced dragon-bracket at the second floor. The fenestration is varied, including early 18th-century 8/8 and 6/6 sash windows with Gothic glazed heads, a wood eaves band, and a three-light casement in the gable with a pendant. The shop front returns with a canted stone return and an arched window, sitting on a rubble plinth. There is also an early 19th-century six-panel door with a margin-glazed overlight, framed by a moulded architrave and topped with a moulded and modillioned wood flat hood.

Inside, the building features a 20th-century dogleg staircase with stick balusters leading to the first floor, and two 19th-century dogleg staircases with stick balusters connecting the ground floor to the attic. The attic contains two panelled doors, a plank door, four-panel doors, and 19th-century panelling. The second floor has a late 19th-century fireplace, a wall cupboard, a three-panel door, and massive framing. The first floor includes a 19th-century fireplace, a moulded chamfered ceiling frame with a dragon beam, and another 19th-century fireplace. The ground floor features a 19th-century ceiling cornice and dado rail. The cellar is partly stone-lined and brick vaulted, with a 19th-century winder stair with stick balusters, a part-glazed panelled door, an ashlar stack base, a 19th-century range and surround, and a copper.
