Crescent House

Crescent House is a villa built in 1847 by T.E. Owen, located on Queen's Crescent in Southsea, Portsmouth. The building is stuccoed with a low pitch Welsh slate roof, featuring a projecting rendered stack at the center left of the facing gable and another stack at the far right.

The villa is two storeys high and has three bays, with the right bay being wider. The center bay projects and is distinguished by banded rustication on the ground floor, showcasing Italianate architectural features. At the center, there is a 9-panelled door with a fanlight, which is set back within a porch that has an open round-arched entrance supported by scrolled carved brackets. A heavy moulded band runs across the first floor, interrupted at the stack and continuing plain across the bay window.

On the first floor, there is a round-arched sash window with margin glazing, supported by shaped brackets as imposts, and a sill band that is broken at the stack. The facing gable features a projecting verge with a moulded bargeboard and shaped brackets at both the verge and eaves. To the right, there is a two-storey rectangular tripartite bay, where both the ground and first floors contain three narrow 4-pane sash windows, separated by pilasters on the ground floor. On the far left, there is a round-arched margin glazed sash window on the first floor, with the facing gable also having a shaped bargeboard and a central stack.

The left return of the building presents a garden front facing Kent Road, which steps back from west to east in three bays, with the first two bays featuring low pitch facing gables. The interior of the villa has not been inspected.
