Description
William Curtis House, located at 25 Lenten Street, is a building from the 17th and 18th centuries. It has two storeys plus an attic and features three bays. The structure is made of brick and has a hipped tiled roof on one end. The ground floor includes a central entrance with a pedimented doorcase and flanking flush windows. There is a moulded brick band at the first-floor level on the right side of the facade, which also has three flush windows. The building has an eaves cornice and two hipped dormer windows in the roof. To the left, there is an early 19th-century single-bay extension. The right side of the building has a return with three bays, where the central bay has a modern projection that partially obscures the initials and date "NG (17)02" made of vitreous bricks. The upper windows are wood cross-windows. Inside, there is some timber framing and a 17th-century staircase with a simple contemporary plaster ceiling. This house is notable as the birthplace of William Curtis, a botanist, in 1746.
