Description

The Crescent, including Nos 1 to 14, 56 King Street, and 38 Regent Road, is a group of buildings dating from around 1810 and has been restored. This crescent is designed in red brick and features a stucco eaves cornice and bands at the first floor sills. There are thirteen windows on each side of a central section that projects forward, which has pilastered ends and three windows. All windows are sashes with glazing bars and have rubbed flat brick arches above them. The end elevations each contain three windows and a high plinth, and both the ends and the center have pediments with a stucco frieze that aligns with the cornice of the main block. The central tympanum features a bulls-eye window framed in stucco.

All doors, except for the central one, are double-recessed round arches topped with radial glazed fanlights and six-fielded-panel doors. The central section has full-length second-storey windows with an attractive wrought iron balcony, paired entrance doors beneath a large elliptical fanlight with tracery, and a delicate iron porch with a frieze and shallow pediment. The area railings have been removed.

Nos 1 to 14, 56 King Street, and 38 Regent Road collectively form a significant architectural group.
