Photometric V, RC, IC light curves were obtained at the Loiano and Asiago telescopes. The radial velocity data were acquired by means of the SARG@Telescopio Nazionale Galileo spectrograph. High-resolution spectroscopy allowed us to derive precise stellar parameters and the chemical composition of the star, obtaining Teff=6750±150K; logg=14.1±0.4dex and [Fe/H]=-0.07±0.12dex. Photometric and spectroscopic data were used to estimate the total absorption in the V band AV=2.06±0.05mag, in agreement with previous estimates. We adopted the technique of the difference in phase and amplitude between different photometric bands and radial velocities to verify that H254 is (definitely) pulsating in a radial mode. This occurrence allowed us to apply the CORS realization of the Baade-Wesselink method to obtain a value for the linear radius of H254 equal to 3.3±0.7R. This result was used in conjunction with photometry and effective temperature to derive a distance estimate of 273±23pc for H254, and, in turn for IC 348, the host cluster. This value is in agreement within the errors with the results derived from several past determinations and the evaluation obtained through the Hipparcos parallaxes. Finally, we derived the luminosity of H254 and studied its position in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. From this analysis it results that this δ Scuti occupies a position close to the red edge of the instability strip, pulsates in the fundamental mode, has a mass of about 2.2M and an age of 5±1Myr, older than previous estimates. Description: Photometric data were acquired in the Johnson-Cousins system V, RC and IC with the AFOSC1 and BFOSC2 instruments at the 1.8m Asiago and 1.54m Loiano telescopes, respectively. The AFOSC@1.82m instrument was equipped with a TK1024AB 1024x1024 CCD, with a pixel size of 0.47-arcsec and a total field of view of about 8.1-arcminx8.1-arcmin. The BFOSC@1.54m was equipped with an EEV CCD 1300x1340 pixel of individual size 0.58-arcsec and a total field of view of 13-arcminx13-arcmin. The spectroscopic observations were carried out with the SARG instrument, which is a high-resolution (from R=29000 to 164000) cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph covering a spectral range from λ=370 to 1000nm mounted at Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG, La Palma, Canarie, Spain).
