Description
11 The Crescent is a terrace house built around 1797, part of two linked terraces that share a common pedimented facade dated 1808, alongside the Wesleyan Chapel built in 1803 by Joseph Medworth. This development was designed as part of the planned circus of the Castle Estate. The house is constructed of local brown brick and features a slate roof with a side stack. It stands three storeys tall with a basement and consists of two bays. The stone coping to the parapet and the bands at the first and second floors add to its architectural detail.
At the second floor, there are two recessed hung sash windows: one with sixteen panes and the other with twelve panes, both set in cambered gauged red brick arches with stone cills. The first floor has two larger windows and one ground floor window, all without glazing bars, set in similar openings. The entrance, located on the right side, is approached by two stone steps and features a six-panelled door with a fanlight that has patterned glazing bars, all within a double recessed round-headed arch of gauged brick.
Inside, the house retains its original staircase, which has patterned wooden panels on the balustrade leading to a small storage landing.
