The building appears in the Listed Buildings Register as "Byford House, Barber's Lane, but now known as Queen's House". The building dates from the 16th or 17th century and it was re-fronted in the early 19th century.
Sadly it's virtually impossible to photograph without trespassing, so our photo is not very good.
The pub is shown as "Queen" or "Queen Inn" on the OS maps from 1885 to 1958. By the 1977 sheet it's marked as "Queen's Cottage" so evidently closed between 1958 and 1977.
