Description

The Queens Head Public House is an early 18th-century building that was extended later in the 18th century, as well as in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a half-hipped, tiled roof with a later side stack. The building has a dentil eaves cornice, similar to the barn at Top Farm. The structure forms an L-plan with two principal ranges and is two storeys high. The gable end facing the road has a horizontal sliding sash window above a canted bay. On the side elevation, there is a blocked opening and a flat arch leading to a flush frame horizontal sliding sash window. The second principal range, which is late 18th century and also made of red brick, has a tiled roof that is hipped at the junction with the earlier range, but features a similar half-hipped roof and dentil cornice at the gable end. In the angle between the two ranges, there is an early 19th-century addition made of grey brick and slate, which is one storey high and includes a canted bay with hung sashes.
