Devon House is an imposing Georgian residence offering expansive, characterful living across three floors plus a basement and separate coach house. High ceilings, original wide-plank floors, wooden panelling and fireplaces in each room create an authentic period atmosphere while generous reception rooms and a fitted kitchen provide practical family spaces. The long private driveway, electric gated entrance and two-bay car port with charging point add modern convenience and security.
The house is best suited to a large family or someone seeking a versatile historic home: principal bedroom with rare servants’ staircase, multiple formal reception rooms, and seven (see note) individually characterful bedrooms provide significant accommodation. The basement and coach house present realistic potential for conversion to additional living space, home working, or leisure use (subject to consents). Mature, gated gardens with two patio areas and extensive plot size deliver private outdoor space rarely found in town-centre homes.
Important practical points: the surrounding area shows relative deprivation and a transitional neighbourhood profile, council tax is above average and crime is described as average — factors that may affect running costs and resale considerations. Buyers should also verify the bedroom total: some listing material references seven bedrooms, while the official data lists six. Overall, this is a rare, well-preserved Georgian property offering scale, historic detail and development potential for buyers comfortable with period maintenance and town-centre context.
