4, 5 And 6, Old King Street

Nos. 4, 5, and 6 Old King Street are three terrace houses built around 1729, with 20th-century additions. They are part of a development by John Wood the Elder. The houses are constructed from limestone ashlar and feature double-pitched slate roofs with moulded stacks on the left and a truncated stack on the right of centre.

The exterior consists of five storeys with a basement, with each house having two windows across. Originally, there was a continuous coped parapet, a cornice, and a ground floor platband. The windows are six/six pane sash types, and each house has a six-panel door beneath shallow hoods supported by shaped consoles.

No. 4, located on the left, is painted and has white-painted reveals and sills. It features two/two pane sash windows on the second floor, lowered sills on the first floor, and plate glass windows on the remaining floors, with a six-panel door that is glazed at the top to the right.

No. 5 is also painted and has moulded architraves around the two/two pane sash windows on the second floor, with chamfered reveals for the horned six/six pane sashes on the other floors. The six-panel door, which is glazed at the top, is located to the left.

No. 6 remains unpainted, showing the jointing of the ashlar. It has a taller parapet, splayed reveals, and lowered sills for the six/nine pane sashes with balconettes on the first floor, while the rest are six/six pane sashes without horns. A 20th-century door is located to the right. Open joints indicate plain window surrounds, suggesting that originally all windows in the terrace had moulded architraves. The interiors have not been inspected.
