Description

Curzon Hall is a 16th-century manor house that features a timber frame, which is rendered and colourwashed, with a pantile roof and crow stepped gables. The building consists of three bays and two storeys, with a chimney bay and an off-centre axial stack located to the left. There is a full-height, three-storeyed porch situated to the centre right, along with end internal stacks for later additions on both the left and right gable ends, and a rear wing to the right.

The principal facade faces south and displays varied fenestration, mostly consisting of 20th-century insertions. The three-storeyed porch, made of rendered brick and dating from around 1600, features a crow stepped gable, octagonal finials on both the gable and the clasping polygonal buttresses, and a basket-headed porch arch within a square head. The openings on all three storeys are adorned with pediments, and the doorway has a double chamfered frame with decorative stops.

To the east, there is a single-storeyed early 20th-century addition in brick, while the west gable has been rebuilt and features an attached single-storeyed range from the later 20th century, which holds no special interest. At the rear, there is an early 17th-century stair turret attached to the chimney bay, which is timber framed and rendered, featuring a gabled two-storeyed turret with an attic and cellar. This turret includes a four-light wood mullioned window in the centre bay of the first floor, along with various lean-tos and additions.

The rear wing to the left partially occupies the first bay and is constructed of brick and timber framing, with a gable end that shows some brick tumbling in and ovolo mullioned windows on both the ground and first floors. Inside, the timber framing is exposed, and bays two and three have been combined into one room that contains large fireplaces at either end; the fireplace in the chimney bay features a basket arch. Bay three has lozenge mullions in its former openings at the front and rear. There are doors leading to the rear right and a staircase in front of the right gable end stack, which displays 18th-century painted scenes. A wide dogleg staircase leads to the stair turret, featuring acorns on the double newels, with stopped beams on the turret tie beams and stopped chamfers on the stairway doorframes. The roof includes curved collars, some of which have been partially renewed.
