Why it mattered
house — Devon Place matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Set in a terrace of four houses, this mid-nineteenth-century house presents a classical proportioned front elevation enlivened by a simple but attractive moulded doorcase. It is enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows. Built to the same design as that of its neighbour to the east, it helps bring a visual and architectural unity to the terrace. The well-executed cast-iron gate and railings at the boundary wall are also of note. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
