Description
28 King Street is a 3-storey, 3-bay house, with all bays offset to the right. It features a slate close-eaved roof with a truncated stack on the right and no stack on the left. The exterior is painted roughcast, with square 6-pane sash windows on the second floor and 12-pane sash windows on the first floor. On the ground floor to the right, there is a shop window from 2002, along with a ledged door leading to a cellar below. The centre has a 20th-century half-glazed door to number 28, set in a plain small doorway. Number 29 has an earlier 20th-century shopfront with a corner entry, featuring a long plate glass window at the front, a recessed glazed door at the corner, and a short plate glass window on the side wall. Above the shop windows, there is a band of small leaded panes. The side wall is windowless and has a split gable, with the left half stepped forward. At the rear, there is a stair tower with a lean-to roof and a 12-pane sash window.
Inside, there is a 19th-century staircase with straight balusters and slender turned newels leading from the first to the second floors. The 6-panel doors on the first floor, noted in 1981, have been replaced by 20th-century fire doors.
