Description
An attached pair of houses, built around 1833 and now used as offices. The houses are constructed of limestone ashlar and render, with limestone dressings, and have a hidden roof. They follow a double-depth plan, and the design is three storeys high with an attic and basement. Each house has a two-window facade. The ground floor is banded and features pilaster strips, a plat band, panelling, a frieze, a cornice, and a parapet. The left-hand doorway is for number 47, with fluted pilasters, an entablature, a cornice, a plate-glass overlight, and a six-panel door. The doorway for number 46 is in the right return, and is similar but wider, with blank margin lights. The windows are 6/6-pane sashes, with 3/3-pane sashes in the attic. The left return has a near symmetrical three-window range and a plat band inscribed with "QUEEN SQUARE”. The interior has not been inspected. Queen Square was constructed between 1701 and 1727, and much of the west side was rebuilt after the Reform Bill riots of 1831. Attached to the front of the houses are railings and a pier.
