Description

Devonshire House is a villa, now used as offices, built in 1850, likely by T.E. Owen. The building is finished in stucco and features a low-pitched Welsh slate roof, with the right part hipped and rendered stacks on either side of the center.

The exterior consists of two storeys, an attic, and a basement, with the right part being two storeys high. The façade has four bays arranged in a 1:2:1 pattern. On the right side, there is a projecting single-storey entrance porch with four stone steps leading up to a two-leaf, four-panelled door topped with a 12-pane overlight. The porch has a bracketed cornice and a block parapet. On either side of the porch, there are 12-pane sashes. The recessed right part behind the porch features a 12-pane sash on the first floor, set beneath a flat arch and shaped eaves brackets.

The central part of the building projects slightly and includes a two-storey segmental bay with two sashes on the ground floor, a first-floor band, and two additional sashes above, all topped with a block parapet and moulded coping. The recessed left part mirrors this with similar sashes on both the ground and first floors. Each sash has a six-pane top leaf and a three-pane bottom leaf, with 36-pane leaded lights beneath flat stuccoed arches. There is a sill band on the second floor. The central part also features a two-leaf round-headed attic casement under a round stuccoed arch, complete with an architrave and flanking pilasters, and a gable with a broken pediment and paired brackets on either side. To the left, there is a six-pane sash set between shaped eaves brackets.

The interior has not been inspected.
