Known as Devenescire, the Old English-style home set on 2043 square metres with a heritage overlay dates to about 1933. It features an exterior of clinker bricks, a terracotta shingle roof and diamond leadlight windows in a design by architect A Mortimer McMillan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

But inside, the home boasts a contemporary renovation by architect Stephen Jolson and Larne Prestige Developments, and landscape design by Paul Bangay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
