Paradise House

Paradise House is a 16th-century building that has been altered over time. A gallery was added to the east (garden) side in 1590 by Mary Babb. The main east (garden) front features three windows and is two storeys high with a semi-basement, along with a two-window extension at the north end, creating an L-shaped plan. The corner has a splayed one-window treatment. The roof is made of Welsh slate and has a dentil eaves cornice. The ground floor is constructed from coursed Devonian limestone rubble, while the upper floors are timber-framed and slate hung. The outer bays of the ground floor have splayed one-window designs with projecting hipped roofs, and the front is linked by a glazed verandah.

In the early 19th century, the building was refenestrated with architraved sash and casement windows that include glazing bars. The ground floor previously featured an open three-bay Tuscan colonnade, which was infilled with glass in the early 19th century, and there is a French window with margin lights. The street facade is two storeys high and has rendered stacks, with a carriage entrance below the north wing. The mid-19th-century street entrance has a bracketed canopy and a panelled door.
