Mount Farmhouse

House. Dated 1719 on a rainwater head, it is an example of an 18th-century building. The exterior is ashlar, with a Welsh blue-slate roof. The house follows a double-pile plan and stands two and a half storeys high, with a symmetrical three-bay facade. Features include raised chamfered quoins, a chamfered plinth, and a cyma-moulded band. The tall doorway has architrave consoles and a cornice at band level, an overlight of six panes, and a six-panel door, accessed by a flight of five stone steps. Windows have architraves and projecting sills; the ground-floor windows retain their original 12-pane sashes with fine glazing bars and thin meeting-rails, while the first-floor windows have been altered to casements. There is a casement-moulded eaves cornice. The roof is two-span with coped gables and two gable stacks to each side. The rear facade is similar but treated more simply, with a central doorway having a plain projecting surround, consoles, and cornice. The ground floor has 15-pane sashes, with that to the third bay converted into a doorway; the first floor has 24-pane sashes. The right-hand return has four bays of sash windows with architraves. Two attic windows are present, with one retaining a small-paned horizontal sash. A dated rainwater head is set between them. A cornice extends from the front, with gable stacks linked by a parapet. The left-hand return has a gabled outbuilding at right angles attached to the first bay, with a coped gable featuring kneelers. A doorway with a chamfered surround is in the second bay. Above are windows with raised, plain stone surrounds, and two windows illuminate the attic space.
