House For Sale £650,000
Built originally in 1666 and then re-worked in 1801, Devonia House is a Grade II listed, attached Georgian house. It has a classic double-fronted façade of white-painted render under a Welsh slate roof and is set back from the village road behind a cobbled pavement. It has undergone a sympathetic restoration over recent years retaining extensive original architectural features and yet is also immaculately presented with a light and airy feeling throughout.
The accommodation is over three floors with an additional cellar area below the main part of the house. The stature and size of the main reception rooms is a particular feature of Devonia House, with the ceiling height and tall windows adding to the overall feel. There are three reception rooms on the ground floor on the southern side of the house and the delightful kitchen/breakfast room is at the rear of the house, off the inner hall, overlooking the rear cobbled courtyard. The kitchen is fitted with painted units and 2-oven aga and beyond the kitchen are the rear hall, bathroom and utility/ laundry room. Accessed off the laundry room and overlooking the garden and the Church beyond, is a further reception room that is currently used as a garden room and would make a wonderful study or home office. Alternatively this western end of the house could easily be used as an independent annex and would divide very easily.
The main body of the house has four quality bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and a further bedroom on the second along with a study, attic room, bathroom and WC. All but one of the bedrooms face south and like the main reception rooms have a sense of size and quality that is rare to find in a village house.
The house is set back from the street behind an expanse of cobbles that extends the full width of the house and which is decorated with clipped box balls and beds of lavender. The house has pedestrian access at the front and also down one side into the western end. Immediately behind the house is a cobbled courtyard with ample space for outside dining and a separate log store. Steps
lead up to a paved terrace, passed the garden room and onto the garden beyond. The garden itself is mature and beautifully tended and is comprised of an extensive lawn fringed with richly planted borders filled with flowering shrubs, roses and herbaceous perennials. There are also several mature specimen trees in the garden including a listed holly tree and a magnificent magnolia that sits centrally and provides a central focal point. The garden is surprisingly private and provides a welcome addition to this charming village property.
