9, Clarendon Crescent

Villa, built around 1825-1830, with later alterations including a 1920 conservatory and a 20th-century garage. It was constructed by William Buddle, Sr and Jr, for GG Barret, and is built of painted brick with painted stucco on the side and garden facades, covered by a Welsh slate roof. Cast-iron railings and a verandah are also present.

The building has an L-shaped plan, with a rear wing to the left and a gable to the right. The main street facade features a 6-panel door with side-lights and an overlight, set within a distyle Doric porch with fluted columns, a frieze, a cornice, and a blocking course. The ground floor has a tripartite window and two 6/6 sash windows, all with flat arches of gauged brick. The first floor has a rectangular bay, a 2/2 sash window, and two 6/6 sashes with elliptical arches. An 8/8 sash window is found to the gable, all windows in plain reveals with sills. The rear garden facade is two stories with a basement and attics, with two full-height bows providing four first-floor windows. The ground floor bows each have two 16-pane French windows, while the first floor has two 6/6 sash windows. The basement has four 6/6 sashes. A peaked roof has a central attic dormer.

The interior features a probable original entrance door with roll-moulded details, a dogleg staircase with turned balusters and a wreathed handrail, and four-panel doors. Shutters are present on many windows, including pull-up shutters to the rear.

Historically, the property was originally intended as part of a circular development known as Bertie Circus, with the garden facades intended as the primary fronts. The development included numbers 15 and 17 Beauchamp Hill. Originally named Back Lane, the area became known as Clarendon Crescent around 1825; a survey from 1838 formalized this name change, indicating that the circular design had been abandoned. The original architectural scheme, showcasing a series of full-height bows, is best viewed from the rear garden facade, encompassing numbers 1-9 Clarendon Crescent and number 17 Beauchamp Hill.
