Listed building or place reference: HE0009 Historic site reference Property 5 Road name Almorah Crescent Parish St. Helier LocationView on map Grade Listed Building Grade 1 Category Residential (town house, terrace) Statement of significance Almorah Crescent is the finest Regency style terrace in Jersey. Context n/a External Description Part of Almorah Crescent, the grandest 19th century terrace in Jersey which has a splendid composition on a magnificent site with both prospect and aspect. The crescent comprises ten houses built on a slight curve. The dominant south front is four storeys high and incorporates much of the subtlety and delicacy of the Regency period. The two end houses project slightly forward from the main façade and the whole front is joined with a continuous headed balcony complete with openwork iron pillars. The rendering of the ground floor is rusticated with boldly recessed false joints, whereas at the upper levels the rendering is plain and decoration is provided by delicate canopies continuous at first floor level and individual at second floor level. Additional emphasis is given to the second and third floor windows by forming shallow recesses around each opening. The generous overhanging eaves supported on moulded brackets complete a skilfully designed façade. The composition of the crescent includes communal gardens to the front of the terrace, and an area of rear service buildings on La Pouquelaye and, within it, 19th century buildings and structures relating to the original 1840s crescent - all of which are an intrinsic part of the site. Those buildings within the rear service area that are twentieth century additions are not of interest.
