description Devonia House is an attractive double fronted, Grade II listed attached house, set back from the road on Fore Street in the centre of the village. The building dates from 1666, rebuilt in 1801 and offers spacious and well-appointed accommodation over four floors, including a cellar. In recent years, the property has been sympathetically restored by the current owner, retaining many period and original features throughout. The ground floor accommodation includes a kitchen/breakfast room with gas 2-oven Aga, a large entrance hall with cloakroom and staircase, and two south facing reception rooms. There is a large cellar and wine store beneath the house providing ample storage. There are four bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and a further three bedrooms on the second floor, along with a bathroom, cloakroom and an attic store room. Views across Taunton Vale and towards the Wellington Monument can be enjoyed from this floor. The adjoining cottage offers a utility room and bathroom on the ground floor. There is a garden/music room with a wood burning stove on the first floor and access to the garden. The cottage provides ancillary accommodation or could be used as a holiday let, subject to the necessary planning consents. To the rear of the property is an enclosed courtyard with a wood store and steps leading to a raised patio terrace and an immaculate and well established garden, mainly laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders. Within the garden, there is a storage shed and numerous trees, plants and shrubs including clematis, roses and a listed Holly and magnificent Magnolia, which is understood to be one of Milverton and Taunton Deane s most favoured trees.
