Description
No. 45 Devon Square is a house, now used as offices, built in the mid-19th century. It features painted stucco and a hipped slate roof, with no chimneys. The building has a double-depth plan and includes a 20th-century right wing.
The exterior is two storeys high and has a symmetrical three-window arrangement. It has an eaves band, a plinth, banded quoins on the ground floor, rusticated quoins on the first floor, and a moulded sill string course on the first floor with bracketed sills. The windows are 6/6-pane sash windows, with pilasters on the jambs of the first-floor windows and cornices above the ground-floor windows. The central entrance features a four-panel door with a plain semicircular fanlight, moulded archivolt, keystone, and imposts.
Inside, the property has moulded architraves on the four-panel doors, splayed and panelled shutters, and a closed-string dogleg staircase with stop-chamfered stick balusters. The staircase has a faceted pointed dome at the newel and a square moulded pendant at the turn. There are also two half-glazed margin-paned doors with cut stars in the corners of the coloured flash glass.
This building is part of a well-preserved square, which was developed for the Courtenays between 1840 and 1860.
