Description
15 King Street is a house and shop that stands three storeys tall with two bays. It has a considerably lower roof compared to the adjoining properties at Nos 14 and 16. The building features a steeply pitched slate roof and a stucco front wall. The upper floors have square 6-pane hornless sash windows located under the eaves, while the first floor has 12-pane hornless sashes.
The ground floor originally housed an early shopfront, likely dating from the late 18th century, which is a rare survival but has been significantly altered since 1981. At that time, the shopfront included two windows with two lights each and a central door featuring a large glazed panel, all framed by rusticated pilasters with a fascia and cornice. The cornice and fascia may still be original, but the current shopfront now consists of a central wide shop window with 10 panes and two flanking half-glazed 20th-century doors. These doors are accompanied by thin rusticated pilasters with simple capitals in the fascia.
Additionally, the left-hand return of the building has a ground floor buttress, and there are two heavy ceiling beams on the ground floor.
