Description

The Queen's Oak is a cottage that has been converted into a public house. It dates from the early 17th century but underwent alterations in the late 18th century and was extended in the late 19th century. The exterior is finished in painted roughcast with an old tile gabled roof. The building has an H-plan layout, featuring a two-bay 19th-century extension on the right and a triple-gabled section on the left, where the taller outer gables flank a small central gable. It stands two storeys high and has a first-floor string course. There are four 19th-century chimneys: one on the left-hand ridge, one at the rear, and two on the ridge at the right. The windows are sash style with glazing bars. On the entrance front, there is one upper sash window in the left-hand gable above coupled sashes on the ground floor. The right-hand gable has one bay, while the central gable features a small upper casement above a gabled porch with an ogee-headed opening and a ledged door. The two-bay wing on the right is set back and has gablets.
