Queen Anne House And Attached Railings

Queen Anne House, originally an office, dates from the early 18th century. The walls are plastered with channelled rustication on the ground floor, and the roof is hipped with plain tiles. Brick stacks project laterally. The house is two storeys high with a side-lit attic, and features a bold eaves cornice supported by wooden brackets. It has two bays with tripartite sash windows featuring glazing bars and a moulded string course. The central door is framed by a moulded, panelled doorcase, topped by a re-sited segmental pedimented hood, likely dating from around 1700. This hood is supported by slender Tuscan columns and features a richly carved frieze of foliage, flowers, and swags in the tympanum. Iron railings enclose the front of the house on either side of the entrance. A single-storey colourwashed brick wing projects forward to the right, containing a 20th-century casement window.
