Description
29 Curzon Street is a terrace house built around 1750-1770. It is constructed of brown brick with a slate roof and has three storeys plus a fourth attic storey behind the parapet, along with a basement. The building is three windows wide, with the entrance located to the left featuring an Ionic columned doorcase, a pulvinated frieze, and a bracketed cornice. The revealed sash windows, which have no glazing bars, are set under flat gauged arches. There is a stone plat band and sill band on the first floor, a bracketed stone cornice above the second floor, and a parapet with coping. The property is also adorned with wrought iron area railings and scrollwork lampholders.
Inside, the house has undergone some alterations but still retains a top-lit stone staircase with a wrought iron balustrade. The first-floor drawing room features late 18th-century plasterwork on the ceiling and a carved marble chimney piece, along with late 18th-century pier glasses between the windows. The rear room has similar rose garland details on the ceiling. The ground floor front room displays shallow plasterwork from around 1800, while the second-floor front room includes a west room that is panelled with fluted Corinthian pilasters flanking the chimney breast and an enriched cornice, which is likely reset work.
