For Sale3 Bedroom House in St. Johns Court, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10£450,000

Dating from 1420, 4, St John’s Court was originally a mediaeval hall built by John Coventre, a wool merchant, Mayor of Devizes and later its MP. Grade II listed, it is still a very special building, retaining many of its original features. Now a light and cosy home, within a few minutes walk of Devizes Market Place, it offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the town’s history. The house would originally have been open to its rafters following the architectural custom of the time, with beautiful oak beams and intricately carved oak cornices, some still visible today. An upper floor was added within the mediaeval hall, now the dining room, along with a large fireplace with stone chimney, in about 1550. A large cast iron stove has been added in recent times. Today, this lovely building is a welcoming home, with entrance hall, sitting room with fireplace housing a log burner, kitchen with bespoke Shaker-style units set around a central dresser with space under a large roof light for a table and chairs. The dining hall is spacious enough to seat eight people comfortably and leads out through ceiling-height French windows to a private sunny courtyard garden. In one corner of the dining hall, an iron spiral staircase leads to a beamed double bedroom with a large storage area and an ensuite shower room. There is a further shower room and utility area off the entrance hall. The main staircase leads from the entrance hall to the other two bedrooms, one single with built-in wardrobe area and the principal bedroom with its beam structure and a magnificent view of the clock tower of the adjacent parish church. A stone archway leads through to the ensuite bathroom. Outside, via the back kitchen door is a small courtyard garden area with access to an outside study/office. There is a gate giving access to St John’s Court.
