28, Brunswick Square

This is an end-of-terrace house built around 1860 in Gloucester. It is located on the south side of Brunswick Square and forms a key part of a well-preserved group of early to mid-19th century houses. The building is constructed of stuccoed brick, with a hipped slate roof and brick stacks.

The house is a double-depth block with a rear wing, and has a garden front on the west side. The front elevation features raised bands at the first and second floor sill levels, flanked by giant strip pilasters extending up the first and second floors, and topped by a cornice with closely spaced modillions. To the left of the front elevation is a recessed porch entered through a semicircular archway, leading to an entrance doorway with a fanlight. A slightly projecting, rusticated panel sits above the porch, crowned by a moulded cornice at first-floor level. This cornice continues to the right, framing a single-storey, canted bay window with a crowning frieze band and a hipped lead roof. The bay window has a wide sash window in the front and narrow sashes in each canted side. These windows are set within openings featuring projecting keystones in flat-arched heads. The first floor has two sashes with moulded architraves and raised keystones above the flat heads. The left-hand window has a projecting moulded sill supported on volute brackets flanking a moulded panel. Cast-iron window guards are present on the sills, and on the roof of the ground-floor bay, at the level of the second-floor sills. The second floor has two shorter sashes with similar details, including moulded architraves, keystones and sills with shaped end-brackets.

The east elevation has a two-storey canted bay window on the ground and first floors, with a modillion cornice and a hipped lead roof. This bay window mirrors the detailing of the front elevation, with a wide sash window on the first floor and narrow sashes on the canted sides, and further sashes on the second floor.
