Description
No. 6 King Street is an 18th-century building that has been considerably restored. It features brick walls, some of which are rendered, and a tiled roof with a brick stack. The building is positioned at right angles to the road and has two storeys plus attics. The elevation facing the road includes a gable with moulded brick parapets. On the ground and first floors, there are double hung sash windows with glazing bars, each with raised plastered surrounds. The attic has modern casement windows. The main entrance, facing west, features a modern door in a classical style with a pedimented hood supported by columns. There is one double hung sash window with glazing bars at the entrance level and three similar windows on the first floor. The attic has two dormers with hipped roofs, each containing double hung sash windows with glazing bars. An insurance plaque above the door may have been re-set.
