Description
No. 7 King's Quay Street is a house that includes a boundary wall, dating from the 18th century and early 19th century. It is timber-framed with a rendered front and a gabled clay peg tile roof. The building has two storeys with attics and cellars, and features a later two-storey rear extension covered in black weatherboarding. The front elevation has a plain parapet and a hipped dormer with a small paned double-hung sash window. On the first floor, there is one double-hung sash window with small panes and a moulded surround. The ground floor has a similar double-hung sash window, a plain 20th-century door surround, and a six-panelled door. A stack is located on the ridge at the northwest gable.
Inside, there is a tight dogleg stair with a 19th-century handrail and an early 19th-century fire surround with a moulded mantelshelf in the front ground-floor room. The roof features fully framed side purlins. The former gable profile of No. 8 is visible in the attic, along with woolcomb pargetting. The cellar contains some septaria walling and a semicircular-headed arched niche, while a fragment of septaria walling in the rear yard may be part of a former town wall.
