Description

The Queen's Club is a house built in the late 18th century, originally for Christopher Wilson, and is located parallel to Blind Beck and at right angles to the road. It was used as a convent in the late 19th century and is now a nightclub. The building features rendered rubble on a plinth with rusticated quoins and an eaves cornice with a wooden gutter supported by dentils. The roofs are covered with graduated slates, and some of the rendered end chimneys are set diagonally. The structure has a T-shaped plan and stands three storeys tall.

The north elevation of the east block has five bays and includes a 20th-century plank door, while the sash windows retain their original wide glazing bars. The three-bay west block features first-floor sashes, two doors below, and two blocked lunettes above. The two-bay east elevation of the north block has a panelled door beneath a 20th-century canopy and sash windows, with the second-floor sashes maintaining the wide glazing bars, while other windows are later additions. The ground floor right window is inserted in a blocked carriage arch.
