Description
No. 51 King Street is a 15th-century shop and hall house that was rebuilt in the late 16th century and remodeled in the early 19th century. It now serves as a shop with domestic accommodation. The building has a timber-framed core, primarily constructed of flint with gault brick dressings, and is topped with slate roofs. It stands two storeys high with a dormer attic and features a gault brick facade. The full-width 20th-century shop front includes a central door, while a second entrance is located on the east side, also dating from the 20th century. The first floor has three 6/6 unhorned sash windows, which are set under gauged skewback arches. The building is topped with a modillion cornice and a parapet, and it has a gabled roof with two gabled dormers fitted with casement windows. The rear cross wing is rendered and whitewashed, with a set-off at the first floor and a gabled roof that features a 16th-century brick ridge stack. There are also flint and clunch lean-to outbuildings located parallel and to the west of the cross wing.
Inside, the ground floor includes a large inglenook fireplace on the east wall. The rear wing contains late 16th-century bridging beams that are moulded with sunk quadrants and one subsidiary keeled fillet, along with decorated bar stops. The first floor has similar bridging beams.
