Description
This is a house built around 1820, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed with painted stucco over brick to the front and left return, and has a slate roof. The roof features brick and stuccoed stacks, some with oversailing courses and decorative pots. A timber porch and bay windows are prominent features.
The house has a double-depth plan with a central hallway and stands three storeys high with three windows on the first floor. The stucco detailing includes sills and scoring intended to mimic ashlar. The first-floor windows are 6/6 and 8/8 sash windows in plain reveals with sills. A Doric style porch shelters a five-panel door, the lower panels flush-beaded with a bolection moulding to the centre and upper panels, topped with a plain fanlight and roll-edged stone step. Flanking the entrance are rectangular bay windows with a cornice to the flat roof, containing paired 6/1 sashes and 4/1 sashes to the returns. The left-return elevation features a ground-floor canted bay with 1/1 sashes and an 8/8 sash to the first floor. The rear elevation includes an 8/8 sash window and a 4/4 staircase sash, and a two-storey flat roof extension is attached to the rear left.
The house is part of a unified group of listed buildings in Britannia Square, originally planned around a large green, similar in scale to developments at Lansdowne Crescent, Lark Hill and Rainbow Hill Terrace in Worcester.
