Description
4 and 5 Queen Street are three houses in a row, built in the mid to late 18th century, with some alterations made in the 20th century. They are constructed from limestone ashlar and feature double Roman tile roofs, although the lower part of No. 5 has a slate roof. The houses have a shallow plan with high mansard roofs and small wings added to the rear.
The exterior consists of three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with each house having two windows, all of which are sash windows set in plain reveals. Nos. 4 and 4A have dormers with paired small four-pane windows above wide sash boxes, while No. 5 has two small four-pane windows. On the second and first floors, each house features eight:twelve:eight-pane tripartite windows, with the first floor having a higher central sash, as well as a single twelve-pane window, and another twelve-pane window at the far left on each level.
At the ground floor, No. 4 has three twelve-pane windows above a pavement grille and a six-panel door to the left, which is accessed by two steps. No. 4A has a small oriel shopfront, created in the late 20th century by Nicholas Magniak, with a central door on steps and a large square garage opening. No. 5 overlaps with No. 7 on the upper floors and features an early six-panel door and a 20th-century door, both with transom lights, along with a large eight-pane sash window to the right above a pavement grille.
The houses have a stepped plinth that slopes down to the pavement, with painted ground floors and a platband. A modillion cornice with a blocking course and a parapet steps between Nos. 4A and 5. There are straight masonry joints at each end and between Nos. 4A and 5, with coped party divisions and ashlar stacks at these points. The interiors have not been inspected.
