Description
The Queen’s Head Public House is a range of cottages dating from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, now combined into a public house. The central section originates from the 17th century and is roughcast. It is a single storey with attics, featuring a clay tile roof, two gabled dormers, two ground-floor casement windows with glazing bars, and a central chimney stack. To the right is an 18th-century L-shaped section, also roughcast, with a concrete tile roof, one gabled dormer, two-light sash windows with glazing bars on each floor, and a flat bracketed doorhood. The left-hand section was built in the 19th century of mottled red and yellow brick, with a clay tile roof, dentil eaves, and one sash window on each floor.
