Description

32 Curzon Street is a terrace house built around 1770. It features multi-coloured stock brick and a slate roof, rising four storeys with a basement and a dormered mansard. The façade is three windows wide, with the entrance located to the left. The entrance has an elliptical arched doorway with double panelled doors, flanked by sidelights and topped with an entablature and fanlight. The fanlight contains 19th-century armorial stained glass representing the Curzon family, which includes two crests, the coronet, and the motto of Earl Howe, who was the head of the Curzons of Penn in Buckinghamshire. The left crest depicts a five ostrich feather plume from a ducal coronet, while the right crest shows a popinjay rising with a collared gule, and the Earl's coronet is in the center. The family motto, "Let Curzon holde what Curzon helde," is displayed below.

The house has early to mid-19th-century cast iron porch details and sash windows with revealed glazing bars. The first-floor windows are topped with semicircular painted red brick arches, while the others have painted red brick gauged arches. There is an impost level band course linking the arches of the first-floor windows, a main stone cornice over the second floor, and a crowning cornice with a blocking course. An early 19th-century cast iron arcaded balcony is present on the first floor, along with cast iron area railings featuring urn finials.

The interior has been altered with Edwardian details, including the staircase and possibly the fully panelled front floor room. The rear ground floor room has grotesque panelled composite pilasters that articulate the walls, which appear to date from around 1900 but may be original. The cornices on the first floor remain intact.
