Description
Crescent House is a two-storey building dating from the 18th century, constructed of colourwashed stone with pecked ashlar dressings. The end quoins rise as pilasters, and the roof is slate. The house features three bays, with a shorter rear wing that runs parallel to the front and extends at right angles along the road, accompanied by outbuildings.
The central entrance consists of a five-panelled door with a margin glazed overlight, set within a portico supported by iron columns. The door has panelled reveals. Flanking the entrance are 16-pane sash windows, while the first floor has three 12-pane sashes. The building has wide eaves and a large chimney stack on the east gable, as well as another stack located between the central stair hall and the reception room in the west bay.
On the west end elevation facing the road, there are 12-pane sashes on the upper floor, but a 20th-century window below, along with a blocked door leading to the rear wing.
