Description

19 Crescent Lane is a mews and garden building, now a house, built between 1790 and 1800 and possibly designed by Thomas Baldwin. The building features limestone ashlar facades, with rubblestone on the left return and the range to the right. It has a flat roof with moulded stacks on the returns.

The exterior is two storeys high, with a three-window range facing the street and a two-window range at the garden front. The street front, likely rebuilt, has a coped parapet and three horned six-over-six pane sash windows on the first floor. The ground floor has two sash windows on the left and a six-panel door set in a moulded architrave with a cornice on consoles. To the right, there is a lower rubblestone range with a coped gable at the front of a pantile roof and a single six-over-six pane sash window above a semi-elliptical arch leading to a 20th-century garage door.

The garden elevation is designed in a style characteristic of Baldwin, featuring a crisply detailed design. It has two-storey single bay wings flanking a loggia, which is slightly recessed from the wings and supported by two columns in-antis with terminal half columns. The rear wall has a central glazed door with an architrave surround and blind rectangular openings on either side. The design includes Ionic order details with ram's heads between volutes, an egg and tongue motif, and a torus moulding below. Above this, there is a blind wall lower than the wings, adorned with three rectangular moulded panels featuring pendant husk and ribbon garlands, along with central ram's heads. The balustraded parapet features dies above.

Each wing on the ground floor has a round-headed window set in a semicircular arched recess with a heavy projecting keystone. An impost moulding acts as a string but dies abruptly into the face of the loggia. The top moulding of the loggia entablature extends as a moulded sill course to the first-floor windows. These windows have moulded architrave surrounds flanked by half pilasters with moulded bases and a Prince of Wales feather as the capital, along with a plain frieze and moulded cornice above. The lintel to the moulded cornice of the wings aligns with the top moulding of the balustraded loggia parapet blocking course above. The interior has not been inspected.
