Albion House

Albion House comprises two semi-detached houses dating to around 1820, with later additions and alterations. The houses are constructed of painted stucco over brick, with a concealed slate roof and a large concealed brick party-wall stack featuring oversailing courses and terracotta pots. They were designed to present the appearance of a single, large Classical-style villa.

The double-depth plan incorporates entrances in set-back wings to the left and right, and the building is three storeys high, with a basement. There are six windows to the first floor (a 1:4:1 arrangement). Stucco detailing includes full-height pilasters to the ends and flanking the central pair of windows; the pilasters are plain on the ground floor and fluted with Corinthian capitals above. An entablature with a pediment sits centrally, above which a coped parapet is crowned by an urn finial. Ball finials are positioned over the end pilasters; a first-floor sill band with raised gilt lettering reading 'Albion House' links the pilasters. A shallow break forward to the ground floor creates double reveals for the windows, which have sills; a moulded architrave and a blank vase balustrade decorate the entrances. Most windows are 6/6 sash windows in plain reveals with sills, with the second floor of the flanking wings featuring 3/6 sash windows. Three stone steps lead up to six-panel doors, with flush-beaded bottom panels and raised fielded panels with a bolection moulding. Glazed sidelights are present over a blank balustrade, and a half-elliptical fanlight in a circle and teardrop design is above the door. A two-storey service range is located to the rear right.

The listed buildings in Britannia Square form a unified group, initiated in 1820 and planned around a central green. Albion House is comparable to other developments in Worcester, such as Lansdowne Crescent, Lark Hill, and Rainbow Hill Terrace.
