Detailed Description

19 King Street comprises a three-storey Grade II listed Georgian office building with additional basement accommodation. Constructed circa 1827, the property was originally built as a private residence.

The building is of traditional solid brick construction beneath a slate roof and features large single-glazed sash windows (with secondary glazing) overlooking both King Street and Aickmans Yard. The front elevation includes a parapet wall and a well-known cast-iron plaque reading "John Aickman's Foundry." Aickmans Yard is accessed via the archway beneath the building and provides parking for surrounding properties.

The ground floor offers four generous office rooms together with a spacious entrance hall, reception area and W/C facilities. The space benefits from excellent natural light through the large sash windows and a skylight positioned above the entrance hall. The W/Cs are located to the rear of the reception area, and access to the basement is provided beneath the main staircase. Part of the ground floor includes a more modern single-storey rear extension.

The first floor is accessed via the main entrance staircase which provides a further six offices together with a kitchen positioned over the archway beneath.

The basement provides additional storage space. The vendor currently leases four parking spaces from the Borough Council of King's Lynn & West Norfolk, details can be provided upon request.
