No. 32 And Attached Railings

No. 32 is a house built around 1799, with additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. It was likely designed by John Pinch the Elder and is located on Northampton Street. The front is made of limestone ashlar, while the basement is constructed from rubble. The rear features both ashlar and rubble, topped with a Welsh slate double pile parapeted mansard roof. The right side has a coped brick party wall, and there are both ashlar and brick stacks with early clay pots at the front and rear.

The house has three storeys, an attic, and a basement, with a three-window front. The first floor features three six-over-six sash windows in plain reveals, while the second floor has three similar windows. On the ground floor, there are two six-over-six sash windows with stone sills to the right, and a six-panel door with beaded and fielded panels and a 20th-century fanlight in a round-headed plain reveal to the left. The crossover is paved with pennant and is flush with the pavement, featuring a 19th-century cast iron foot-scraper. The basement has two six-over-six sash windows in splayed reveals with stone sills, and a 20th-century door infilling under the crossover, along with limestone area steps and a wrought iron handrail. The house also has a double dormer with two six-over-six sash windows, a band course over the ground floor, weathered sill bands on the first and second floors, a frieze, a dentil eaves cornice, and a coped parapet. The partially visible rear elevation has glazing bar sashes.

The interior has not been inspected. There are also attached wrought iron railings and a gate with shaped tops on painted limestone bases. Historically, Northampton Street was built on the pleasure grounds of No. 14 Royal Crescent, which belonged to Charles Hamilton. The property was purchased by the Pulteney Estate in 1791, and although plans were initially made by Thomas Baldwin in 1795, John Pinch the Elder's designs were used in 1799. By 1800, there were 17 houses on Northampton Street, including this one.
