Description

The Square House is an early 19th-century stucco house located on the north side of Tunnel Hill in Upton-upon-Severn. It is three storeys high and features a parapet along with a low-pitched hipped slate roof. The façade has three windows, including two curved bow windows that project out over two storeys and have flat tops. The windows are tripartite glazing bar sashes, and above them are two additional glazing bar sashes set in moulded surrounds. The centre window is slightly off centre and is blank. There is a sill course at the first floor level. The entrance is highlighted by a moulded stucco doorcase with an open pediment. The flank walls curve forward towards the road and include round-arched openings.
