Ground floor has tripartite window, a 6/6 between 2/2 sashes; then a 6/6 sash, both with flat arches of gauged brick. First floor: from left, to wing a rectangular bay, a 2/2 between 1/1 sashes.

Continuous verandah on plinths with perpendicular style decoration with lattice work between, 5 fluted Doric columns, frieze with modillions.

Dogleg staircase has turned balusters with wreathed handrail. 4-panel doors. Shutters to many windows including pull-up shutters to rear. HISTORICAL NOTE: originally planned as Bertie Circus, the

houses were constructed to face inwards with the present garden facades as the main fronts. The Board of Health Map of 1852 indicates that Nos 15 & 17 Beauchamp Hill (qv) was included in that architectural scheme. When laid out c1825 Clarendon Crescent was know as Back Lane, however DG Squirhill's Survey of 1838 shows it with its present name, presumably by which time the scheme for a Circus had been abandoned. The original architectural scheme for Nos 1-9 (consecutive) Clarendon Crescent (qqv) and No.17 Beauchamp Hill (qv) with its series of full-height bows is best seen from the rear (or garden) facade.
