House, now sub-divided into 6 flats. 1840-68 with later additions
and alterations. Painted stucco over brick, hipped slate roof
with wide eaves. Timber oriel window with wrought-iron balcony.
Verandah on supports of wrought and cast-iron. Double-depth plan
with hall and staircase to centre rear. 3 storeys with cellar. 2
first-floor windows. Stucco detailing includes fluted pilasters
to each end and centre rising from first-floor sill band,
pilaster capitals have decorated frieze with foliated scrolled
shell motif; plain eaves band; stucco scored to represent ashlar.
2 second-floor windows are 4/4 sashes; first-floor right is 8/8
sash; all in plain reveals with sills. First-floor left is later
canted oriel window with margin-glazed transom lights over single
pane with 2-pane side-hung casements to the returns; ornamental
balcony in scrolled heart and anthemion design. Centre
ground-floor is 2/2 margin-glazed sash extending down to
floor-level and accessed by roll-edged stone step; to either side
is an 8/8 sash in plain reveals with stone sills. Full-width
verandah with slender support frames stiffened by scrolls and
anthemion motifs; straight rafters - unroofed (1886 O.S. Map
indicates that this verandah and that at no. 5 (q.v.) were
glazed). Left-return is painted brick with 2 external stacks

with 3/3, 4/4, 6/6, and 8/8 sashes under flat gauged brick

porch with C20 external and internal doors.
INTERIOR: retains some original features including 4-panel doors,
architraves, skirtings and cornices; dogleg staircase has stick
balusters and wreathed handrail.
HISTORICAL NOTE: Of similar design to No.5 (qv) Lansdowne
Crescent. Because of their elevated position, vehicular access to
these houses could only be from the east via Lansdowne Crescent
Lane; this introduced a degree of formality to what would
normally be the rear elevation. he 1886 O.S. map shows
Nos 10 and 14 (qqv) as exceptions with carriage drives from the
west off Lansdowne Crescent. Nos. 1-15 (consecutive) and 17 and
18 Lansdowne Crescent (qqv) form a good group of listed buildings
comparing well with other developments of this period in
Worcester such as Britannia Square, Lark Hill, and Rainbow Hill
Terrace (qqv).
