Description
Upper Crescent was perhaps the grandest terrace development undertaken in Belfast, an elegantly curving row of three storey dwellings in a late regency style built in 1846 by timber and shipping merchant Robert Corry. Originally occupied by Belfast"s professional and business classes, leaving their older residences in the centre of the town, which in turn were gradually turned into shops and offices.
No.7 is set to the west end of the row and is one of the more ornate buildings of the grouping, having large two storey Corinthian columns to front. The front elevation is asymmetrical and faces roughly North. To the right on the ground floor is the entrance, which consists of a recessed timber panelled door with panelled pilaster jambs and rectangular two pane fanlight. Two stone steps to door. To the left of the doorway are two tall plain sash windows. To the first floor are three larger windows set on a sill course. These have recent frames made to resemble the original regency style sashes. To the second floor are three pairs of narrow, semicircular headed sash windows. These windows rest on a more pronounced (cornice-like) sill course projection with dentillations.
The ground floor level is finished in rusticated render, with the upper floors in plain render. Four large, evenly spaced Corinthian ¾ columns span the ground and first floor heights and support a projecting frieze below second floor sill course level. The outer columns are square. Corresponding with these pilasters to the second floor are four panelled pilasters which rise to form parapet piers with a pierced, balustrade-like, parapet between them.
The accommodation internally which was originally a fine home has been converted into office accommodation in recent years but retains many of the original architectural features.
Enjoying gas central heating and a modern feel, it would a great opportunity to return the building to a dwelling (subject to consent) or alternatively continue to use it as an office.
A private viewing is highly recommended.
