Description

No. 4 Camden Crescent is a house, now divided into flats, built around 1788 with 20th-century alterations. Designed by John Eveleigh, it features a front made of limestone ashlar, painted at the basement, and a combination of ashlar and rubble at the rear. The building has a double pile parapeted mansard roof covered with Welsh slate, with two ashlar stacks at the front and a rebuilt stack in reconstituted Bath stone at the rear, rising from a coped party wall on the right.

The house is three storeys high, with an attic and basement, and has a three-window range. The first floor has three plate glass horned sash windows in plain reveals with lowered stone sills and simple wrought iron balconettes. The second floor features three six-over-six sash windows in plain reveals with stone sills and wrought iron balconettes. On the ground floor, there are two plate glass horned sash windows to the left and a six-panel door to the right, which has flush reeded, fielded, and glazed panels set in a pedimented Doric doorcase. This is accessed by two steps leading to a pennant paved crossover with a wrought iron footscraper. The basement includes two six-over-six sash windows in plain reveals with stone sills, a nine-pane door under the crossover, 20th-century area steps, and an unglazed opening to the vaults. The roof has one double and one single dormer with 20th-century windows. Architectural details include a band course over the ground floor, a modillion eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. The rear elevation has two-over-two and six-over-six sash windows, with 20th-century windows on the ground floor and dormers.

The interior has been divided into flats. The basement was inspected by Bath City Council in the 1980s and features flagged stone floors throughout. Notable interior elements include an 18th-century timber chimneypiece with swagged decoration on the frieze in the ground floor front room, and a timber chimneypiece with an ovolo moulded architrave in the basement front room.

The property also includes attached wrought iron railings and a gate on limestone bases.
