Description
Gascoyne House, originally a hop and seed warehouse, is now a set of flats. It was built in the mid-19th century and underwent alterations, including a conversion to flats in the 1980s. The building features pinkish-red brick with a yellow and purple brick plinth, all laid in English Bond, along with cement lintels and sills, topped by a slate roof.
The exterior has four storeys and ten first-floor windows, with two hoisting lofts on the river side. All windows have been replaced, and the loading bays are now glazed. It has a stepped cornice and wide eaves. The return to Hood Street includes six first-floor windows, and the corner is curved. At the rear, there is a central wide, cambered arch that originally allowed access through the building.
The interior has been renewed but was not inspected. Historically, Gascoyne House occupies a corner site and is an important feature in the streetscape overlooking the River Severn. It is part of a group of former warehouses that includes Brown's Restaurant and Bond House on South Quay, as well as Merchant's House on Quay Street, Worcester Bridge on Bridge Street, and St Andrew's Church Tower on Deansway. Together, these buildings contribute to the visual framework of Worcester Cathedral as seen from the river.
