Description
32 King Street is an early 19th-century cottage that has undergone later 19th-century alterations. It is a single-storey and attic, three-bay structure located in an irregular terraced street. The exterior is rendered and features a base course, rusticated quoins, and painted ashlar margins. The corniced doorway is deep-set and includes a panelled door with a fanlight above, flanked by windows. There is a projection at the rear of the building.
The cottage has non-traditional glazing throughout, with the principal windows designed to resemble sash and case style. The roof is made of grey slate and includes a cast-iron rooflight, as well as a pair of later 19th-century canted slate-roofed dormers over the outer bays, featuring mutulated eaves. The gable ends are finished with ashlar coped skews, and there are stone gablehead stacks topped with thackstanes and cans.
The interior was not seen in 2003.
