137 AND 138, KING STREET

137 and 138 King Street is a house that has been converted into a shop. It is reputedly built in 1751 but has undergone significant alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features stuccoed and colourwashed brick with a slate roof and stands three storeys high with a three-window range. The mid-20th century shop front consists of plate glass and has a tiled dado. On the first floor, there is a late 20th-century imitation sash window without glazing bars to the left of a canted bay window, which also has three imitation sashes without glazing bars. The second floor has three blind windows with stuccoed architraves. The roof is gabled and hipped to the south, and it previously had a dormer. Internally, all three floors have been opened out into display suites, and the roof structure consists of purlins and principals, which have been largely rebuilt. There is a rear extension that features a king-post roof.
