Description
17 and 18 Queen Square are a pair of attached houses built in the early 18th century. They are constructed of Flemish-bond brick with yellow headers, partly rebuilt in stretcher bond, and feature limestone dressings along with a pantile hipped mansard roof. The houses have a double-depth plan and are designed in a mid-Georgian style, each standing three storeys tall with a three-window range.
No. 18 has been rebuilt to resemble No. 17. Both houses have quoins, string courses, and a modillion eaves cornice. The right-hand doors feature a late 18th-century Tuscan columned pediment for No. 17, which also has a five-pane fanlight and a six-panel door. No. 18 has a mid-18th-century bracketed canopy, a rectangular fanlight, and a six-panel door.
The ground-floor windows have rubbed brick flat arches with keys, and there are shallow pediments above the second-floor windows, which are segmental in the center. The tall windows on the first floor are nine-over-nine pane sashes, while the second floor has six-over-six panes in exposed frames. There are also two hipped dormers with three-over-six pane sashes. The left-hand return features a three-window range with a right-hand doorway, a large shell hood on carved consoles, a six-pane fanlight, and two-leaf six-panel doors. The interior was rebuilt around 1970.
