2 cottages and a shop located at 2, 4, and 6 King Street in West Malling. Nos 2 and 4 were built around 1830, while No 6 dates from the mid-19th century. The building is L-shaped, weatherboarded, with No 6 designed to resemble masonry, and features a slate roof and a single brick chimneystack. Nos 2 and 4 each have one window on the first floor, which is a 20th-century top-opening sash set within a moulded architrave. The ground floor has two 12-pane sashes in moulded architraves, with 6-panelled doors on either side, both topped with flat hoods supported by brackets. No 6 projects forward and has a hipped gable. Its first floor features two mid-19th century sashes with marginal glazing, horns, and distinctive carved aprons with brackets. The shopfront from the 19th century has four divisions, a half-glazed door with a rectangular fanlight above, and a deep fascia. The right side of No 6 has a blocked-in 19th-century shopfront. There is a 20th-century cast-iron lamp bracket attached in an antique style. The rear elevations of Nos 2 and 4 have sliding sashes, while No 6 includes a projecting 19th-century weatherboard outbuilding with a loading door on the first floor.
