1, The Crescent

1 The Crescent is a terrace house built around 1793, part of two linked terraces that share a common pedimented facade dated 1808, alongside the Wesleyan Chapel built in 1803 by Joseph Medworth as part of the planned circus of the Castle Estate. The building is constructed of local brown brick with a slate roof and a side stack. It stands three storeys tall with a basement and features two bays. The stone-coped parapet has painted stone bands at the first and second floors. There are three recessed hung sash windows without glazing bars, set in cambered gauged red brick arches with painted reveals and stone cills. The entrance, located to the left of centre, has two stone steps leading up to a six-panelled door with a plain fanlight, all within a double recessed red gauged brick arch. Inside, the house retains its original closed string staircase with turned balusters.
