Description
The Queen's Head Hotel, located at 25 and 27 Market Street, is a 18th-century building that has been altered over time. It stands three storeys tall and features four wide-spaced windows on the second floor and five windows on the first floor. The front is rendered, topped with a modern slate roof that has a central ridge chimney. The windows are late glazed sash style, with later stop-chamfers cut into the reveals. On the ground floor, there is a wide entrance to the rear on the left, followed by a six-panel door with a large engraved glass window beside it and another similar window on the right. The rear of the main house is partly constructed of random rubble, and there is a two-storey, five-window gabled stone extension with a steeply pitched flipped slate roof that has three brick chimneys.
