Description
King's Cottage is a house built in the early 19th century, with an end bay added around 1900. The exterior features whitewashed rendered rubble and some cob, topped with a hipped thatch roof. There are brick stacks at each end, an axial brick stack, and a rubble stack at the rear of a right-angled gabled extension that has slated offsets. The building has an L-shaped plan with a right-angled kitchen extension at the rear left.
The cottage is two storeys high with a cellar and has a four-window range, primarily featuring 19th-century centre-hinged casements, which are mostly two-lights, except for the third from the left, which has three-lights. French windows at ground floor plinth level are located on each side of a half-glazed panelled door with a blind fanlight. Stone steps lead up to each side, featuring four newel posts with ball finials, a wooden handrail, and decorative wrought ironwork on the platform.
A 19th-century verandah roof with swept-up ends supports the original facade and is held up by rustic timber posts. The gabled projection to the right has a three-light window with individual 20th-century sashes for each light. There is a narrow two-storey projection at the rear with a half-hipped roof that resembles an early porch but lacks an entrance. A flat-roofed 20th-century extension in brick is located in the angle of the L-shape to the right, and a slated gabled roof covers a 20th-century porch extension to the left. Much of the 19th-century internal joinery remains intact, including an open well staircase with stick balusters and a moulded handrail that is elaborately swept up to square newels.
