Nos. 36, 37 and 38 QUEEN SQUARE

Nos. 36, 37, and 38 Queen Square are a terrace of three houses built around 1703, showcasing early Georgian architectural style. Constructed from brick, limestone ashlar, and render, the buildings feature limestone quoins and dressings, brick party wall stacks, and a hipped roof covered with pantiles. Each house has three storeys, a basement, and an attic, arranged in a symmetrical group with a continuous roof, modillion eaves cornice, and three dormers.

No. 37, located in the middle, has a rusticated ground floor leading to a plat band, with render above. It features a central Doric portico and entablature over a doorway that has a moulded surround and a five-panel door. The ground floor includes incised voussoirs, while the upper floors have plain finishes and 6/6-pane sashes with fine bars and exposed frames, along with bolection mouldings on the second floor. Nos. 36 and 38 have quoins and string courses on each floor, with central doorways that include attached timber porches supported by Doric columns, pediments, fanlights, and six-panel doors. The windows have keyed, rubbed brick flat arches above the 6/6-pane sashes in bolection-moulded exposed frames. The left return features a 19th-century doorway and a small gable.

Inside No. 37, there is a large entrance hall and fully-panelled ground-floor rooms that include window seats, panelled shutters, bolection-moulded door frames, and six-panel doors. The rear open-well stair has an uncut string, barleysugar balusters, square newels, and a toadback rail, along with fielded wainscot. This terrace is one of the few remaining original houses in Queen Square, which was laid out in 1699 and is considered the largest square in England, built between 1701 and 1727 to various leases of similar design.
