15, King Street

This is an early 16th-century hall house, substantially refronted in the mid-18th century. The building is constructed of red brick with a plaintile roof. The King Street facade is two storeys and a dormer attic in four bays. A round-arched carriage entrance is located on the left-hand side. To the right of the carriage entrance are three mid-18th century flush-frame sash windows, with a further four sash windows to the first floor, all featuring glazing bars and segmental gauged skewback arches. A timber bracketed eaves cornice runs along the top of the facade. The gabled roof has three dormers; the two outer dormers have pediments while the central one has a segmental pediment. A south-facing stack is shared with the adjacent property at number 15A, while an internal gable-end north stack is also present.

The main entrance is situated within the range of buildings that extend to the north of the rear courtyard. A six-panelled door, protected by a large timber doorcase with a pediment, is present, with the upper two panels glazed. To the left of the door is a former hall window with six transomed lights and ovolo-moulded mullions. To the right of the door are two mid-18th century sash windows with flush frames and glazing bars. Five similar, but slightly later, sash windows are found on the first floor. A moulded timber eaves cornice extends around the building. The gabled roof features two flat-topped dormers fitted with 19th-century sash windows. A rebuilt ridge stack sits above the door.

A two-storey and dormer attic cross wing is located at the west end, with one bay jutting into the courtyard and constructed of gault brick, featuring sash windows. The south gable is in red brick of multiple dates. The west front is whitewashed, featuring a gabled roof with an internal south gable-end stack.

The interior of the ground-floor east room, located in the street-facing range, features large-framed panelling and an egg-and-dart cornice. A substantial mid-18th century architrave frames a panelled door. The present kitchen occupies the location of the original hall, which was lit by the hall window; a sunk quadrant bridging beam with tongue and bar stops remains. A similar bridging beam is present in the room to the right of the door, alongside 18th-century large-frame panelling. The west end of the building is largely late 20th century in character, with a roof featuring staggered butt purlins and collars. The roof of the courtyard range is similar but with canted collars.
