Villa, now 3 flats. c1837 with later alterations. Probably by

Hill (qv). Brick with painted stucco facades and Welsh slate
roof.

Doric porch with engaged pilasters, architrave and frieze,

6/6 sashes to basement. Continuous first-floor band with
cornice and blocking course to bow. Otherwise 6/6 and 4/4

fixed lights, otherwise 6/6 and 3/6 sashes.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the Board of Health Map of 1852 indicates
that this villa was included in the original (uncompleted)
scheme for a Circus, with the houses constructed to face
inwards and the present garden facades as the main fronts.
Planned as Bertie Circus, the scheme had been abandoned by
1838 when DG Squirhill's Survey names Clarendon Crescent.
Presumably this was the last of the villas to be built as it
has a coherent front and garden facade.
The original architectural scheme for Nos 1-9 (consecutive)
Clarendon Crescent (qqv) and Nos 15 and 17 Beauchamp Hill with
its series of full-height bows is best seen from the rear (or
garden) facade.

Rise of Leamington Spa: A Century of Growth 1783-1886).
