Southbroom House

Southbroom House is a Grade II listed residential building from 1773 in Devizes built with Bath stone, featuring a central symmetrical block and two side wings covered with stone tile roofing. The structure now contains office spaces and educational facilities within its historical framework.

The house was built in 1773 and experienced a fire in 1779 early in its existence. It passed through several notable owners, with significant ties to London merchant circles during that period.

The north-west front displays a carved stone cartouche of Arms, while the entrance features a 19th-century porch with triple Doric columns. These details shape how people see and experience the building today.

The building is part of Devizes School and can be viewed from the outside to appreciate its architecture and stonework. It is easily reached on foot and offers good views of the facade and decorative details from public areas.

The grounds contain notable trees that form part of the Devizes Green landscape and contribute to the environmental quality of the location. These natural features complement the building's architectural role in the area.
