Description
No. 3 Castle Crescent is a mid-19th century, two-storey villa. It is constructed of stucco and features quoins on the principal three-bay section. The main part of the villa has flat eaves that extend across slight breaks in the outer bays. The sash windows have marginal glazing and are framed with architraves, with cornices on the ground floor. The roof is hipped and covered with slate, and there are flanking chimneys with moulded capping. A projecting Doric portico supported by fluted columns leads to a six-panel door set in a glazed surround. To the left, there is an irregular two-storey wing, and to the right, a ground floor bay. The property includes a carriage sweep and a grey brick street wall capped in yellow.
