Includes: No.27 KING STREET. Terraced houses. Possibly C17 or C18 and later. Cobbles, stucco, render, roof of C20 tiles to Nos 20 Church Street and 27 King Street, earlier tiles to Nos 21 and 23. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys with dormers. No.20 has one window in Church Street and one window and one loft door in King Street, No.21 2 windows, No.23 one window, No.27 King Street one window. No.20 is rendered with corner entrance and probably C20 shop front to ground floor, both windows under a small lean-to roof; flat-arched windows above and segmental arch to loft door, gable to Church Street half-timbered in late C19 or early C20, gabled and tile-hung dormers to roof, stuccoed ridge stack. No.21 has stuccoed panelled ground floor with flat-arched entrance and shop window under fascia; first floor cobbled with brick dressings and segmental-arched windows with brick quoins, all now painted, 2 dormers in roof and ridge stack. No.23 is stuccoed all over with panelled ground floor and shop windows under fascia; first-floor window segmental arched, side stack. No.27 King Street is faced with cobbles and has a possibly early C19 shop front with flat-arched entrance and 3 x 5 paned window flanked by pilasters; segmental-arched window to first floor, one gabled dormer in roof. The presence of chamfered spine beams in the ground floor of No.20 Church Street and No.27 King Street suggests that these houses may be of relatively early date. INTERIOR: not inspected. A rare and notable survival, of earlier provenance than the late C18/C19 development of Brighton.
