Description

No. 4 Queen Street is a house with a shop, dating from the late 15th century and remodeled in the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of stuccoed stone and features slate roofs with gabled ends. The front range has a two-bay late Medieval roof that runs at right angles to the road, likely serving as a first-floor chamber. At the back, there is a range parallel to the road, which also has a late Medieval two-bay roof that appears to be smoke-blackened. This back range is likely part of the structure of No. 3 Queen Street and seems to have been independent of the front range until the early to mid-19th century when the front was refronted and joined with the back.

The exterior consists of two storeys, with a one-bay east front featuring a 20th-century shop on the ground floor and a 20th-century three-light window above. To the left of the shop, there is a doorway with a round arch, a semi-circular fanlight with radiating glazing bars, and a panelled door. The back range also includes 20th-century windows.

Inside, the front section has a two-bay Medieval roof that is truncated at the front. It features two moulded arch-braced trusses supported by moulded wooden corbels, along with moulded wall-plates and purlins. This roof is not smoke-blackened and appears to be a first-floor chamber that may have extended further to the rear. The back range has a two-bay roof parallel to the street, with three raised cruck trusses that have curved feet, morticed and tenoned to cambered collars, and threaded purlins. This roof appears to be smoke-blackened, and the floor includes a chamfered cross-beam that was inserted in the 17th century, morticed for a partition below.
