Britannia Square, Worcester City

A RARE AND SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY In one of Worcester’s most desirable and architecturally significant addresses, 27a Britannia Square is a wonderfully elegant and impressive Georgian townhouse.  The house occupies a tranquil position on the edge of this leafy, formal square just moments from the heart of the city.  Behind its classic frontage lies a home of rare charm - generously proportioned, full of natural light and tastefully adapted for modern living. 27a has been home to the same family for over 26 years - a testament to just how special the house is and how well it has worked for them as a long term home.

 AN ENVIABLE SETTING Britannia Square is one of Worcester’s architectural jewels: a quiet and upmarket tree-lined residential square of fine period houses to the North of the City Centre.  Here, life feels set at a gentler pace.  There’s a sense of order and refinement but also of genuine community.  The Square is within an easy reach of Foregate Street train station and the beautiful River Severn as well as the range of independent shops, restaurants and cultural life that Worcester has to offer. City living is very much on the doorstep yet as you turn into the square, the pace of modern life seems to recede.

TIMELESS CHARACTER AND ADAPTABLE SPACE This well proportioned house offers lots of room for family life, quiet retreat, entertaining, and working from home.  Its footprint and layout are classically Georgian, with a natural flow between formal reception spaces and more relaxed everyday areas.  Original features such as tall sash windows, cornices, deep skirtings and panelled doors reinforce the house’s elegance, while more recent additions make and a stylish, contemporary twist. The main reception rooms are located on the ground floor and enjoy high ceilings and an abundance of natural light.  Original fireplaces and timber flooring lend texture and warmth.  The rear garden room - a more recent addition - is a bright, calming space with floor-to-ceiling glazing and direct access to the garden.  It has become the heart of the house, perfect for reading, relaxing with coffee in the morning light or hosting friends for supper on summer evenings.

THE KITCHEN: WHERE TRADITION MEETS PRACTICALITY The kitchen balances traditional style with modern functionality. An Aga brings warmth and character, while an island with a Neff electric oven and hob makes every day cooking and entertaining a pleasure.  Practicality is also offered by quartz work surfaces and generous cupboard space.  Adjacent to the kitchen is a comfortable snug which ensures that the kitchen is a sociable family space.

AND SO TO BED On the first floor, you’ll find three great bedrooms - each with its own aspect and character.  The bathroom and separate cloakroom are finished in a soft, timeless style.  The sense of calm and privacy makes this floor ideal for rest and retreat. The top floor has been converted to create an additional, appealing space.  This could be ideal for use as a studio, guest room, or teenager’s retreat.  The attic conversion does not have formal Building Control sign-off but it was undertaken by a professional builder and has been used comfortably for two decades.  

OUTSIDE: AN OASIS OF CALM The rear garden is a private, manageable haven - well established and bordered by mature walls and fences.  It offers plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, pottering or simply unwinding.  There’s a garage at the end with a versatile room above it, which is currently used for storage, but with potential for conversion (subject to planning) into a home office, a gym, or a creative studio. Resident permit parking is available for two cars on Britannia Square and the garage offers off-street parking accessed from The Moors to the rear.
