Watford Place

Watford Place, located at 27 King Street, is a large house built around 1797 and altered around 1822. It features a two-storey central section with one-storey wings, all topped with slate roofs and parapets. The central part was originally three storeys high and has five windows, with square-headed windows on the upper floor and long round-headed windows below, all fitted with glazing bar sashes. There is a cornice, a platband between the floors, and a moulded sill band over the basement.

A central three-bay porch supported by four Ionic columns with an entablature is a prominent feature, flanked by curving side walls with round-arched openings and wide steps leading up. Each wing has two windows, with a cornice that extends from the central block's platband. The basement has blank arched openings. The garden front mirrors the main facade but lacks the porch; its basement and ground floor windows are set in arched recesses, and the first-floor windows have simple architrave surrounds with flat cornices above.

Inside, there is a central staircase hall featuring palmette balusters on the staircase and landing, a coved ceiling with plaster decoration, and well-crafted cornices and fireplaces.
