29, The Tything

This is a house, now used as offices, part of a terrace built around 1820 in Worcester. The building is constructed of red brick with stone detailing, set within a narrow burgage plot and accessed by an entrance to the right. It has a 2-span hipped slate roof with ridges running at right angles to the street, concealed by a high, rebuilt parapet wall. A rebuilt chimney stack features an oversailing detail on the left side, and cast-iron brackets support a wrought-iron balcony.

The house is three storeys high and has three windows on the first floor. The stone detailing includes a plain frieze and moulded cornice, along with sills and wedge lintels to the window openings; these lintels have capped projecting keystones. Tall 6/6 sash windows provide access to the full-width balcony, which features anthemion and scroll decoration in its balustrade. The second floor has 3/6 sash windows, all set within plain reveals.

A set of two steps leads to a six-panel door, above which is a radial pattern fanlight. The door is sheltered by a Tuscan-style doorcase with an open pediment. Brickwork to the ground floor and the window to the left of the entrance were added in the second half of the 20th century. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
