Description

The Crescent is a row of four small houses built in the early 19th century, with late 19th to early 20th century bay windows. The houses are constructed of Flemish bond brick featuring blue headers on the ground floor, while the first floor is tile-hung. They have a slate roof and brick chimneys.

The range faces approximately south and is positioned along the road. The front block is narrow and single-depth, with rooms heated from axial stacks, and heated rear wings extending at right angles.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical five-window front that slightly curves inward towards the centre. The roof is hipped at the left end and gabled at the right end, with brick chimney stacks that have corbelled brick cornices. The leftmost house has an entrance on the left side, while the adjacent house to the right features a 19th-century panelled front door located to the right of centre, accompanied by a gabled porch supported by posts. The centre house has a half-glazed front door on the left side, and the rightmost house has a panelled 19th-century front door with a later porch on brackets. There are five first-floor four-pane plate glass sash windows and four ground-floor canted bay windows, which include plate glass four-pane sashes in the centre and two-pane sashes in the outer lights.

The interior has not been inspected. The Crescent is depicted in a late 19th-century photograph published in "A Victorian Pictorial Record of Brenchley and Matfield," where the bay windows are shown to have replaced earlier sashes.
