1-17, Calverley Park Crescent

Calverley Park Crescent, originally named Calverley Promenade, comprises numbers 1 to 17, and was built between 1828 and 1835. Designed by Decimus Burton, it was initially intended as shops with lodging houses above, although it later became residential houses. Number 1 served as the bath-house, and the central property included a reading room with a billiard room located above. The buildings are constructed from local Tunbridge Wells stone, with the ground floor of the garden front being stuccoed. They are three storeys high with a basement, topped by a cornice and parapet. Each property has two sashes per floor, and most of the original glazing bars remain intact. French windows are present on the first floor. A continuous stuccoed balcony, supported by a slender iron colonnade based on a raised platform with an iron railing, runs along the first floor. The end houses (numbers 1 and 17) and the three central houses (numbers 8, 9, and 10) slightly project forward and feature a cornice below the top floor. The end houses also have curved bays on the sides. Numbers 1 to 17 form a cohesive group.
