Description
Crescent Place is a row of five early 19th-century houses forming a terrace. The houses are constructed of brick and stucco, with a low-pitched roof of Welsh slate. Each house is three storeys high and has a two-window front. The ground floor is channelled stucco, with paired entrances featuring massive, fluted Doric columns supporting architraves. The windows are 16-pane sashes. Upper windows are tripartite sashes with architraves, supported by scrolled console brackets. Above these are paired 12-pane sash windows, also with moulded architraves and flanked by console brackets that carry the eaves cornice. Axial stacks are present.
