Description

The Queen's Head is a public house located on Little Marlow Church Road. It features two bays from the late 16th to 17th century on the right, which have been altered, alongside an early to mid-19th century bay on the left and 20th-century rear extensions. The older part has a ground floor rebuilt in brick, while the upper storey is covered with whitewashed render over timber framing. The building has an old tile roof and a brick chimney on the right that is shared with Saltings House.

The structure is two storeys high with two bays. The windows are 20th-century barred wooden casements, with two lights on the first floor and four lights on the ground floor to the right. There is a brick and flint lean-to porch on the left with a door on the right side. The 19th-century bay is made of red and vitreous brick, featuring wooden eaves, an old tile roof, brick gable copings, and a brick chimney on the left. This section is also two storeys tall and has three-light barred wooden casements with segmental heads, with the lower window being larger and featuring a central arched light. A door is located to the right within a 20th-century half-hipped timber porch. To the left, there is a small single-storey extension. Inside, the upper storey retains timber framing, with some curved braces visible.
