Description
14 Crescent Lane is a coach house and garden building, now used as garages with flats above. It was built around 1773 by Charles Hamilton, who designed the portico, and was altered in 1877 by Hayward & Wooster. The building was converted in the late 20th century.
Constructed from limestone ashlar, the building has an unseen roof and features a U-plan layout with two forward wings facing the street. The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical arrangement of four windows. It is topped with a balustraded parapet that includes panelled dies, an entablature with a cornice, and a lintel frieze. The street front displays six-over-six pane sash windows set in moulded architraves, with two windows on the front of each wing and one on each return. There is a moulded sill stringcourse and a ground floor platband. The first-floor windows are adorned with cast iron scrolled balconettes, and there is a swept lead canopy over the door located to the left of the set-back centre.
The garden front, which is two storeys, features a central pediment supported by paired Ionic columns 'in-antis' over a moulded architrave. This pediment is positioned between the two floor levels above a 20th-century central set-back door, flanked by six-over-six pane sash windows in plain openings. Each side of the pediment has two horned six-over-six pane windows on the first floor, and there are half-octagonal conservatories with cast iron cresting and finials on the ground floor, which have been restored or renewed.
The interior has not been inspected. Historically, the original form of this garden house likely resembled No. 13 next door, which is a single-storey building. The alterations made in the Victorian period show a notable sensitivity to the classical style of the original structure.
