Description
14 King Street in Stranraer is an early 19th-century house featuring two storeys with an attic and an asymmetrical three-bay plan, along with a lower two-storey single bay on the outer right. The exterior is finished in painted render and includes a base course, an Ionic pilastered doorpiece with a dentilled cornice, and architraved openings with projecting cills. The basket-arched lights of the canted dormers are adorned with keystones.
On the entrance elevation, there is a central entrance with a two-panel timber door and a letterbox fanlight, with a single window directly above. The flanking bays each have a single window. The outer left and right feature canted dormers, while the centre has a single light segmental-arched dormer. To the right, there is a single timber door, a two-leaf timber garage door on the outer right, and a single window on the first floor.
The windows are 12-pane sash and case timber, with 4-pane and 2-pane windows in the dormers. The roof is covered with grey slate, featuring stone skews, corniced gablehead stacks, and circular cans. The property also has cast-iron rainwater goods. The interior was not seen in 1997.
