Description
No. 6 King Street is a cottage that has been converted into a shop, with an attached house and a rear wing. It dates from the 18th century and is constructed of painted ashlar with a concrete tiled roof. The building is L-shaped with a rear wing and is two stories tall, featuring two windows on the front. The ground floor has 20th-century shop windows and two doors beneath an 18th-century cornice, with the left window blocking an entry. On the first floor, there are two 12-pane sash windows in beaded cases.
At the rear, there is a two-story wing with five windows. The left part of this wing is a symmetrical early 18th-century cottage, which includes a central cyma-moulded door case with a flat stone hood supported by brackets, and three-light cyma-mullioned windows on the sides and first floor. This rear wing connects to the front range through a two-story section that also features cyma-mullioned windows. It is said that this building was known as The White Hart Inn in the 19th century.
