A stunningly presented grade II listed period house within an easy walk of the city centre
The Paragon development received the Civic Society Lady Radnor Conservation Award for Most Outstanding Project in 2014. 3 The Paragon is believed to date from 1850, constructed of brick under a slate roof. This most attractive and beautifully decorated semi-detached period house was the subject of a restoration and renovation programme in 2012, turning what was almost a derelict property into a fine family house. Immense care has been taken to renovate or replicate the period details, including wonderful sash windows, plaster cornicing, high skirting boards, picture rails, door cases, shutters and fireplaces in virtually all of the reception rooms. The workmanship throughout is of the highest quality and apart from the restoration of period details, 21st century fittings complete a most impressive home. The spectacular kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with Neptune' cabinetry under white marble worktops.
The ground floor offers a variety of floor coverings including limestone, oak and carpet with underfloor heating in the kitchen and garden room. Every detail one would expect today is included such as lined cutlery drawers, central island and an elegant larder cupboard. Built in appliances include an American style fridge/freezer and a smart range cooker with five gas burners and an electric twin oven. The family room running off the kitchen/breakfast room offers a comfortable space to relax and caters to modern day living.
The ground floor accommodation throughout offers versatile use and a bonus is the cellar with wine store. On the upper floors the bedrooms are all spacious doubles, with the principal suite incorporating an en suite shower room.
There is a spacious eaves bedroom on the second floor with exposed timbers.
The house offers very good storage space comprising fitted wardrobes, attic store and the cellar

The house is approached from the Wilton road over a gravel driveway leading to the private parking spaces. At the front of the house are lawns and a path leading to the original front door, with intricate fan light and Georgian doorcase. At the side of the house there is access to the rear landscaped garden. Accessed from both the Kitchen and the Garden Room is a paved terrace, beyond which is a lawn.
