Description

30 King Street is a house that has been converted into a commercial property. The building features unpainted stucco on the upper floors and a slate hipped roof with a moulded eaves cornice. It stands three storeys tall with a cellar and has two bays. The upper floors are characterized by channelled corner piers and paired console brackets located beneath the eaves. There is a sill band on the second floor and a moulded cornice below the sills on the first floor. The windows are plate glass sash types set in moulded surrounds, with the second-floor windows being shorter.

The ground floor has been altered in the 20th century, with the shop set back to create an inset pavement. It features two openings to the street and one at the eastern end. The 20th-century shopfront is positioned far back, but remnants of the original ground floor remain, including channelled piers with moulded capitals on either side, located below the heads of the openings. The left opening is narrow and was a former door, while the right opening is broader, featuring a wide fascia and moulded cornice.

On the left end wall, above No. 31, there is a three-pane sash window on the second floor to the right. The right end has aligned windows roughly in the middle: a four-paned horned sash window on the second floor, and the lower two windows are in a common vertical recess, consisting of a 12-pane hornless sash window on the first floor and a modern fixed four-pane window on the ground floor. There is an opening leading to the recessed pavement on the left side. Additionally, there is a two-storey rear lean-to added in the 20th century.

Inside, the ground floor features two depressed arches with fluted pilasters that divide the shop into three bays from front to back. A late 20th-century staircase leads from the ground to the first floor. The first floor has an arched hall entrance and six-panel doors with fielded panels for the front and rear rooms. An earlier 19th-century staircase leads from the first to the second floor and includes thin column newels, stick balusters, and plain round ends on the handrails. The roof structure consists of four tie-beam oak pegged trusses with centre posts and angled struts, which are said to have been reused from a slaughterhouse. There are wooden steps leading down to the cellar, which has rubble stone walls, some slate flagstones, and remains of an iron range, along with oak beams.
