No 51 And Piers And Attached Wall To Rear

No. 51, along with its associated piers and rear wall, is a villa dating to around 1820, with subsequent additions and alterations. The exterior is painted stucco over brick, with a hipped slate roof and four rebuilt brick and stucco chimney stacks. The building's plan consists of a double-depth layout with a side entrance, a single-story section at the rear left, and a later two-story central service wing at the rear. The garden facade is two stories high with three first-floor windows. The stucco detailing includes scored surfaces mimicking ashlar, outer pilaster strips, a continuous frieze, and cornice. The first floor has 8/8 sash windows, while the ground floor features taller 8/12 sash windows, all set within reveals with sills. A distyle Tuscan porch shelters the entrance on the right return, with a part-glazed door, margin lights, a fanlight with radial glazing bars, all in reveals. An oculus window was inserted on the first floor of the right return in the 1990s. The rear elevation retains 6/6 sash windows, and a central, round-arched staircase window is present.

Inside, original features include a narrow, open-well staircase with stick balusters, panelled shutters, and a marble fireplace. A pair of rusticated piers support renewed gates. A kitchen garden wall, approximately 9 meters long and 2.5 meters high using a Flemish bond pattern, abuts an outshut at the rear. It incorporates a central, elliptically arched pedestrian entrance with a 6-panelled door. The rear walls shared with Nos. 49-53 form a continuous, original feature of the streetscape.

All listed buildings in Britannia Square comprise a unified group, initiated in 1820 and planned around a large green. The villa is comparable to similar, though smaller, developments within Worcester, such as Lansdowne Crescent, Lark Hill, and Rainbow Hill Terrace.
