6, King Street

No. 6 King Street is a house that has been converted into offices and domestic use. It dates from the late 16th century but was refronted in the early 18th century and restored between 1983 and 1988. The building is constructed of brick and features a plain tiled roof at the front and a pantiled roof at the rear. It stands two storeys tall with a dormer attic and has four bays. The facade is dated 1739 and includes a segmental-headed entrance to a passageway at the right side.

On the ground floor, there are two early 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars, accompanied by a panelled door to their left, all set under gauged segmental arches with rubbed brick keystones. The first floor has four sash windows, likely from 1739, which also feature glazing bars and similar arches and keystones. The building has a parapet with a central Brainwater hopper and a gabled roof that is continuous with No. 4. There are two hipped dormers with casement windows and a central ridge stack.

The rear of the building includes a large brick cross wing and late 20th-century pantiles. The south side features various 19th and 20th-century sash windows and a late 20th-century door. At the angle where the main wall meets, there is a projecting one-bay element with a renewed early 18th-century sash window on the first floor.

Inside, there are chamfered bridging beams, and the rear wing has windows with early 18th-century shutters. A winder staircase is located on the north side. The main first-floor room facing the facade is partitioned but retains large-framed panelling. The central fireplace in the east wall is interrupted by a partition and is blocked; it features a tall overmantel with a curvilinear upper frame, foliage-carved spandrels, and egg-and-dart decoration. The front roof has butt purlins, while the rear roof retains enough features to indicate it was of the clasped purlin type. The house was divided from No. 4 in the early 18th century, likely in 1739.
