Kings House And Cottage To Rear

Kings House and the cottage to the rear are a house and attached cottage built around 1840. The structure is made of stuccoed brick and features a gabled plain tile roof, with a ridge hip on the far block at right angles at the back. There is a large Gault brick stack on the north-west side.

The building is two storeys high, with an attic and cellar, and has a three-window range. It includes a segmental-headed dormer with a two-light casement. The plain parapet has stone coping and a painted moulded stone cornice. On the first floor, there are three sash windows, each with a single vertical glazing bar and a rendered shouldered surround. The ground floor features a linked pair of similar windows with an architrave and cornice, along with a linking sill, both having segmental heads. A segmental-headed carriage arch and a moulded plinth are also present. The entrance door, located within an alley on the side, has a moulded hood/cornice on consoles made of stucco, and a six-flush-panel door with a rectangular fanlight and panelled reveals.

The rear wing has a half-hipped plain tile roof and includes 12-pane sash windows in the attic, first, and second floors, with one sash window on the ground floor. The cottage at the rear is two storeys tall, featuring a slate gabled roof and red/brown brick. The corner facing the alley is curved with corbelling above. The first floor has two 12-pane sash windows, while the ground floor has a 19th-century porch with boarded flanks and a 20th-century two-light casement.

Inside the main house, there is a cantilevered open-well staircase with a curved soffit, a wreathed hardwood handrail, stick balusters, and shaped tread ends. The first floor includes a marble fireplace and numerous contemporary doors, along with simple cornices and architraves.
