Description
The Queen's Head Public House is a building that was originally a timber-framed house, with its current exterior appearance reflecting this style. However, only the section facing the street is genuinely from the 17th century. The rest of the building is rendered, likely over brick, and features applied timber framing, Welsh slate roofs, and red brick stacks. It has a single depth range along the street, with the gabled section extending back. The structure is two storeys high with attics, although the attic is only visible at the rear except for the gabled section.
On either side of the gabled section are wings with two wide bays. The gabled section has a small three-light window and a doorway on the ground floor, while the upper floor jetties out on three brackets and features a 17th-century seven-light oriel window under a pent roof. Above, there is a small two-light window in the gable, which has a bargeboard and a spike finial. The left wing contains a garage door and a three-light window on the ground floor, along with two large and one small two-light windows above, all of which are new with leaded lights. The roof has a ridge stack and a spike finial on the left gable.
The right wing features two recessed bay windows on the ground floor and an entrance that angles across the corner, with two mullion-and-transom windows above. The return to Wyebridge Street has two windows on each floor, with a ridge stack and a spike finial on the gable.
The rear elevation shows three late 20th-century dormers on the west wing, along with the rear gables of the central range and east wing. During a resurvey, three features were observed that may be original, indicating that the rebuilding in 1922 may not have been as extensive as it appears. The garage at the left end includes a stone fireplace with massive jambs and a lintel, although there is no chimney above it. The main bar area at the right end has a similar fireplace and a strapwork ceiling adorned with fleur-de-lys in the panels.
