About
A beautifully restored 17th Century Grade II* Listed four bedroom home, situated in the heart of Devizes town centre.
John Kent House is a property of significant historic interest, once occupied by John Kent, a Devizes mp who sat in the House of Commons, and now offers an exceptional blend of period character and high-quality modern refurbishment.
The accommodation is entered via a central hallway, providing access to the principal living spaces.
Of particular note is the impressive reception room, a wonderfully proportioned space featuring a wood burning stove and an abundance of character, creating a warm and inviting setting.
The kitchen/dining room is equally striking, fitted to a high specification with a Belfast sink, Smeg range-style cooker and a large central island, forming a sociable and practical hub of the home.
A useful utility area and cloakroom sit adjacent. The lower ground floor provides a large and highly useful cellar, offering excellent storage.
Upstairs, the property offers four bedrooms arranged over two floors.
The principal bedroom and bedroom two are both particularly generous rooms, showcasing the scale and character of the property, while the remaining bedrooms provide flexibility for family living or home working.
These are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom, complete with a roll top bath.
Externally, the property enjoys an idyllic and generous walled garden to the rear, thoughtfully arranged with raised beds, patio seating areas and a central pathway, creating a peaceful and attractive space for outdoor dining and relaxation.
A truly unique home combining historical significance, character and modern refinement in a prime central location.
