About 1 Devonshire Place
1 Devonshire Place is a seven-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Exeter (EX4 6JA). It has a recorded floor area of 167 m² (around 1798 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (June 2019) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 2 certificates since February 2009.
