Description
Queens House is a house dated by its rainwater head to 1731, with a carved brick inscription 'I. WEBB 1731' on the rear wall. The building underwent alterations around 1780 to 1790 to its street facade and includes a service wing that is an original 17th-century two-unit plan lobby entry building. It is constructed of red brick, with the north-west side stuccoed, and features a timber-framed and plastered rear wing. The roofs are plain tiled.
The house has two storeys with attics, and the main north-west range has a rear staircase hall connected to the earlier building, which also has two storeys. The main facade displays parapet gables and end stacks, with a plain parapet above. There is a wooden eaves cornice with modillions and a plastered brick plinth. The facade features two-storey canted bay windows with hung sashes that rise to the cornice level. A central twelve-paned hung sash window is located above the entrance door, which has six panels and a fanlight with radial glazing bars. The wooden doorcase is adorned with attached columns on square bases and a dentil enriched entablature. A central ridge cupola with glazed lights and a leaded ogee cap completes the roofline.
Inside, there is an early 18th-century staircase with turned balusters and panelling. The house was possibly built for Thomas Talbot, steward of Linton Manors, around 1730.
