Paramount is a stunning "B" listed stone built period house situated in the pretty conservation village of Town Yetholm.

Rare for villages there is a real heart and community in Yetholm with two public houses, a primary school, village shop, church, post office with local banking service, doctor's surgery with prescription uplift and delivery, butchers, allotments, prize-winning floral gateway group, garage and fuelling station and is served by a good public transport service.

The annexe dating back prior to 1709 with its own access can be run separately from the main house or even as an office space.
