12, The Crescent

No. 12 The Crescent is a terrace house built around 1797, part of two terraces connected by a pair of houses that share a common pedimented facade dated 1808, alongside the Wesleyan Chapel from 1803, constructed by Joseph Medworth as part of the planned circus of the Castle Estate. The house is made of local brown brick and features a slate roof with a side stack. It has three storeys and a basement, with three bays. The stone coping on the parapet and bands at the first and second floors enhance its appearance.

On the second floor, there are three nine-paned hung sash windows set in cambered gauged red brick arches with stone cills. The first floor has similar twelve-paned hung sash windows, while the ground floor features two windows without glazing bars. The entrance, located to the right, is approached by two stone steps and includes a six-panelled door with a round-headed plain fanlight, all framed by a wooden doorcase with fluted pilasters and a broken pediment.

Inside, the house retains its original staircase, six-panelled doors, and a beaten metal Art Nouveau chimney piece.
