Description
No. 20 Britannia Square is a house built around 1820, with later additions and alterations. It features painted stucco over brick and has a hipped slate roof with a central stucco chimney stack that has brick detailing and pots. The house has a double-depth plan with the entrance located on the right side. It is two stories high and has two first-floor windows. The stucco detailing includes full-height pilasters at the ends and center, linked by a plain frieze, as well as window sills and a fluted architrave at the entrance. The windows are 8/8 sashes set in plain reveals with sills, and there are external louvered shutters on the ground floor. The left side of the house is painted brick, while the right side features a 6/6 sash window on the first floor with an entrance below. The entrance has a 6-panel door, where the upper panels are glazed with bolection moulding, and the bottom pair is flush with a double-bead. The panelled reveals are all flush-beaded, and there is a plain fanlight above the door. At the rear left, there is a two-story service range.
