Description
Old Queen's Head Cottages is a house that was later used as a public house and then converted into four dwellings, now comprising three dwellings. It dates from the mid-17th century, with extensions added in the 18th and 19th centuries, and alterations made in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame that has been extended with clay lump and is all plastered, topped with thatched roofs.
The structure consists of four cells, with a parlour at the left end and a two-bay service addition on the right. It is one storey high with attics. Nos. 1 and 2 are part of the original building and have two entrances. They feature 19th and 20th century two and three-light glazing bar casements, hoodboards, and a three-light dormer. There is a rebuilt axial ridge stack to the left of the center and a 19th or 20th century stack on the front slope towards the right. The left gable end has a pantiled lean-to outshut, an attic light, and exposed plates and purlins.
At the rear, there are pantiled and thatched lean-to outshuts flanking a 19th century full-height two-bay wing with casements, an extruded gable end stack, and an additional one-storey outbuilding, all pantiled. Nos. 3 and 4, added to the right, have an entrance and a two-light casement to the left, with a central ridge stack. The right gable end features two and three-light casements and an entrance, along with a two-light dormer at the rear. There are pantiled lean-to outshuts at both the front and rear.
Inside Nos. 1 and 2, the hall includes a stop-chamfered cross axial binding beam and a fireplace bressumer, while the parlour has some close studding, a stop-chamfered axial binding beam, and joists. The frame is largely concealed, and the first floor and Nos. 3 and 4 have not been inspected.
