St James' Crescent

St James' Crescent is a terrace of five houses built around 1865 in the Jacobethan style, featuring shaped gables. The buildings are three storeys high, constructed of stucco with a banded ground floor, and have slate or tiled roofs. Each house has two bays, with the right bay being broader and slightly advanced. This bay includes a shaped gable with a pinnacle and urns at the shoulders, although these urns are missing at Nos 95 and 96. The second-floor window has a moulded surround, as does the first-floor window, while the ground floor features a splayed bay. The left bay is narrower and slightly recessed, also topped with a gable and pinnacle (the pinnacle is missing at No 96). It has a round-headed window on the second floor with a moulded surround, a moulded surround on the first-floor window, and a ground floor entrance doorway with a moulded doorcase and a shallow bracketed hood. Notably, No 43 St James’ Crescent has an extra bay window and is entered from the side, while No 96 features a window with a shallow architrave.

The return to the west (left) includes a gable with a pinnacle and urns at the shoulders, a second-floor round-headed window with a moulded surround, two first-floor windows with moulded surrounds, and a ground floor deep porch with a round-headed entrance doorway and round-headed windows on the sides. To the right of the porch, there is a window, and to the left, there is one window each on the first and ground floors, along with a lower block that has one window. There is also a single-storey ground floor section set forward, featuring a door to the left, a tripartite sash window, and a splayed bay window. The return to the right (west) has a narrow porch.
