Description
14 and 16 King Street are a pair of terrace houses located in Lower Brixham, dating from the early 19th century. They are part of the same range as Nos. 6, 8, and 10. The front of the houses is solidly rendered, while the right side and rear walls are made of stone rubble, with the rear wall of No. 16 painted. The houses have a slated roof with chimneys on each end wall; the chimney at No. 14 is made of exposed red brick, while No. 16 has a painted brick chimney.
The front of the houses is three storeys high, but the rear rises to four storeys due to a sharp drop in ground level. Both houses have mirrored fronts, each one window wide, with paired doorways situated in a wide central opening. The doors are from the late 20th century, but the doorway features a 19th-century moulded cement cornice.
No. 14 features an early 19th-century bow window on the ground floor, with 14-paned sash windows and an entablature. The upper-storey windows have 8-paned sashes set in box frames. In contrast, No. 16 has a 24-paned wooden window from 1990 on the ground floor, with late 19th-century mullioned-and-transomed wooden casements above, where each lower light contains two panes.
The rear wall, which faces a public alley, includes late 20th-century shop windows on the ground floor. There are French windows and balconies on the second storey, and No. 14 has two-paned box-framed sashes on the fourth storey, while No. 16 has them on the third storey. Additionally, No. 16 features a two-light wooden casement window, with each light containing two panes, on the fourth storey.
