Description
Queenwood is an early 19th-century house located on the Bowood estate. It is constructed from squared rubble stone and features a stone slate eaves roof with ornate end stacks, including two octagonal shafts on the east and two spiral shafts on the west. The building is two storeys tall and designed in a picturesque Tudor style, characterized by stone mullion windows and cast-iron small-paned casements.
The south front has a later projecting wing to the right, with three-light upper windows positioned in the centre and left beneath shallow coped and shouldered gables. The central entrance features a Tudor-arched doorway with an altered hoodmould set in a projecting porch. To the left, there is a canted bay window with a configuration of one, three, and one-light sections. The right wing displays a quatrefoil plaque above three-light mullion windows on both the first and ground floors, each with hoodmoulds. A south side wall stack has two octagonal shafts.
To the left of the main range is a slightly lower section that includes a large outside stack and two octagonal shafts adjacent to a gabled dormer, which has a two-light window above a three-light ground floor window with a hoodmould. The entrance front of the main range features three similar shallow coped and shouldered gables above two-light, two-light, and three-light windows. The ground floor includes a two-light window with a hood, a central ashlar gabled porch, and an added lean-to on the right with a five-light window, which retains the original three-light window with a hoodmould visible within. The lean-to extends in front of the range to the right, leading to a timber gabled porch. Above, there is a gabled eaves dormer with a two-light mullion window.
Additionally, there is a single-storey annex with a rubble stone front and a hipped roof, linked at right angles to the north-west corner of the house. Historical records indicate that a house called Shadwells was marked on this site in J. Powell's map of 1763.
