Description
No. 27 on King's Quay Street is a house built in the late 18th century to early 19th century. It features a timber frame with a red Flemish-bond brick front and an unequal pitch roof covered with clay machine-made plain tiles at the front, which connects with Nos. 25 and 26. The rear roof is a low-pitched catslide made of Welsh slate. The building has two storeys, attics, and cellars, along with a two-storey outhouse at the back of the yard, which has rendered walls and a gabled roof of Welsh slate.
The exterior includes a plain parapet, a square 19th-century window with three square colored glass lights above two casements, and a blind window recess similar to No. 26. Both openings are topped with rubbed brick flat arches. The ground floor features a projecting canted bay window with a hipped clay plain tile roof, which contains a 19th-century window of five casements with five colored lights above. The entrance door is recessed and has a moulded architrave, a console shouldered frieze, and a cornice or hood. The door itself has two small glazed lights above two raised-and-fielded panels and two flush panels.
Inside, there is a simple panelled partition leading to the entrance hall, similar to Nos. 25 and 26. The stairs rise through a stack, and there is an early 19th-century painted marble fireplace in the ground-floor room, complete with a mantel shelf and shell motifs at the corners. There are also two simple panelled doors with moulded architraves. This house appears to be an enlargement of an earlier building and is likely a separate construction from Nos. 25 and 26.
