Description

No. 33 King Street is an attached house, now functioning as a restaurant, dating from around 1665, with some mid-18th century window features. The building has a rendered timber box-frame structure, a brick lateral stack, and a pantile roof. It stands three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and features a three-window range. The gabled front has jetties on each floor and a small pent roof above the second floor, along with boxed eaves.

The right-hand doorway is framed with a moulded 17th-century design, complete with moulded stops and a framed scratch-moulded nine-panel door. Above the doorway, there are two brackets supporting the jetty, and the ground floor has three 20th-century twelve-pane windows. The first floor features a canted oriel window with pilaster jambs and a dentil cornice, consisting of 10/10-pane sashes and flanking 6/6-pane sashes. The second floor has paired 6/6-pane sashes, and there is a horned 6/6-pane sash in the attic, all set in flush frames.

Inside, there is a central open dogleg stair with an uncut string, early 18th-century column-on-vase balusters, column newels, and a moulded rail. The first floor has pegged door frames and moulded beams, with one beam in the rear room featuring stop-chamfered ends with shallow relief tulips. The front first-floor room displays impressive plaster decoration divided into two sections by a chamfered beam, featuring pointed central quatrefoils, pomegranates, winged cherubs, and corner decorations, along with a frieze of hounds and fruit.

Additionally, part of the medieval city wall is incorporated into the back of the building. No. 33 is connected at the ground and first floors to No. 35. The plasterwork inside is similar to that found in the Llandoger Trow. While the design is conservative, No. 33 anticipates 18th-century urban planning forms with its lateral stair, a layout also seen in Nos. 7 & 8, 16, and 18-20.
