Description
Devereaux House is a house that has been converted into offices. It was built in the early 18th century and underwent alterations in the mid to late 19th century. The building is constructed of red brick and features a hipped plain tile roof with brick ridge stacks. It has two storeys and an attic, with giant Ionic pilasters at the corners and moulded bands at the first floor and former eaves level. The roof appears to have been raised in the 19th century, now displaying bracketed oversailing eaves.
The façade consists of five bays with 15-pane glazing bar sash windows that have gauged brick heads and panelled keys, which break into the moulded bands. There are three gabled dormers, each with glazing bar sashes. On the ground floor to the right, there is a late 19th-century canted bay window that occupies the space of three bays and contains plate glass sashes with raised keys. To the left of centre, a 20th-century glazed door is set within a moulded wooden doorcase, flanked by Ionic pilasters. This door replaced a former window, as indicated by the surviving gauged head and keystone, and the Ionic surround may have been moved from its original central position when the bay window was added.
To the left of the main building is an early to mid-19th-century wing that is also two storeys high. It features a plain pilaster strip at the left corner and a plain coped parapet that is flush with the front wall. This wing has two bays, with first floor glazing bar sashes that have wedge-shaped lintels grooved as voussoirs and raised keys. There is a late 19th-century four-light canted bay window on the left and a single-light window on the right, all of which are late 19th-century plate glass sashes with gauged brick heads and raised keys. The interior has not been inspected.
