Description
The Queen's Head Public House is a three-storey building with a two-window front, featuring a convex curve at the corner. It is constructed of painted Flemish bond brick and has a hipped slate roof facing Kerry Road, with deep boarded eaves and brick end stacks that have new caps.
The second-floor windows have shallow eight-pane sashes, while the first floor and the left side of the ground floor feature sixteen-pane sashes. These windows are adorned with gauged brick voussoirs, plain reveals, and stone sills. There is a later 19th-century bar room window, plain pilasters, and a crested cornice on consoles that sweep around the curved corner. The front has a three-light window, and the side has a two-light window. The doorcase is topped with a gabled hood on brackets, leading to a modern door and stone steps.
The upper storeys are slate hung in diminishing courses facing Kerry Road, with twelve-pane sash windows on the first and ground floors. There is also a later wing adjoining the building.
