Description

44 Devon Square is a house that has been converted into a surgery, built in the mid-19th century. It features painted stucco and a slate roof with moulded stacks on the left and rear. The building is designed in an L-shape with a rear wing and has two storeys and a three-window range. There is a plain eaves band, a continuous first-floor sill band, and a plinth. The first floor has 6/6-pane sash windows, and the left-hand gabled projecting range includes a semicircular arched window with radial glazing bars above a late 19th-century canted bay that has a swept lead roof, dentil cornice, panelled mullions, and 2/2-pane sash windows with horizontal glazing bars. The angle to the set-back right-hand range is filled with a 20th-century lean-to entrance.

Inside, there are moulded architraves on the original four-panel doors, a roll-moulded cornice, and a dado rail in the ground-floor left room. The open string staircase features turned balusters, a wreath handrail, and a curtail step, along with a half-glazed margin-paned door with cut-glass stars and coloured flash glass corners. The front right room has 19th-century ornamental pelmets, possibly made of composition material. This house is part of a complete square developed for the Courtenays around 1840 to 1860, designed by JW Rowell.
