Description
Queen Anne Cottage is a town house that was later used as a shop, dating from the 18th century. It features rubble walls with timber lintels and a steep dry slate roof, with shared brick end stacks. The building has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys over a basement, with a two-window range. The late 18th-century windows are twenty-four-pane, 2-light casements. The doorway, located left of centre, has an old top-glazed door and is approached by three granite steps with an iron handrail. To the right of the main entrance is an early 19th-century bowed shop window with small panes, which is a notable survival. There is also a doorway to the far right with a framed planked door, and a basement doorway with a mid-20th-century top-glazed door accessed by a flight of steps on the left. The interior, as noted in a survey from 1980, included old floor and roof structures and an early 19th-century dog-leg stair.
