Description

Queen Anne's Cottage is a Grade II* listed building constructed in dark, highly fired plum-coloured brick. It features a pyramidal slate roof with lead hips that rises to a turned oak finial. The entrance is located on the northeast side, where a rubbed brick lintel with a basket arch soffit can be found. The entrance opening has been partly built up to include a smaller timber door with a small light beside it. The cottage has timber paned windows, with the principal ones featuring segmental headed overlights and similar brick lintels with curved soffits. There is one original larger oak window with two lights and three lights above a transom, which is now blocked, located on the southeast face. The building also has two small gabled dormers and two brick chimney stacks at the rear.

Inside, the cottage consists of one cell with three floors. The entrance leads to the middle floor, which contains the living room. A small corner staircase provides access to the bedrooms, and there is a corner fireplace along with twin slightly chamfered ceiling beams. The cottage includes two bedrooms, and a staircase descends to the toilet, bathroom, and kitchen, which opens to the lowest level of the gardens.
