Mill Mount House And Attached Railings

Mill Mount House is a mid-19th century house, likely designed by JB and W Atkinson, and altered in the 20th century. It is constructed of stucco with a hipped slate roof. The main facade, facing The Mount, has three bays and is three stories high with an attic. The lower storey's walls are slightly battered and feature channelled rustication. Sashed windows are present throughout. First-floor windows have lugged architraves with cornices, pulvinated friezes, and balconies with iron railings. Second-floor windows feature architraves with cornices and a moulded sill band. Attic windows are inserted within a deep frieze, which has carved timber brackets supporting oversailing eaves and plasterwork pentagons between brackets. A 20th-century external aluminium entrance porch is located on the left-hand bay of the ground floor. A ridge chimney is also present.

The return wall facing Albemarle Road has three bays, with two-story canted bay windows to its outer bays. The central first-floor bay is blind, with a small 20th-century window inserted. The return wall facing Mill Mount has no window openings on its rusticated ground floor. The left side features two second-floor windows with architraves and cornices above a window with two round-headed lights flanking a central blind light, with low iron railings to the casement windows and brackets supporting a cornice with a central segmental pediment. A projecting bay on the right side has first and second-floor windows with architraves and cornices. A doorway with a bracketed cornice hood, forming a balcony to the first-floor window, is present on the ground floor, constructed of stucco and ironwork. The interior was not inspected.
