Description

The Mount is a house dating from around 1820. It is two storeys high, with a semi-basement and attics. The exterior is faced with buff bricks and features painted stringcourses and a parapet. The roof is covered in slate, with one dormer window. There are three windows visible from the front. The windows are round-headed and retain their glazing bars. A wide porch with seven steps leads to the front door; the porch is supported by fluted Doric columns and topped with a pediment. The doorway itself is round-headed and features a semi-circular fanlight. The north-east front includes two windows and two large tripartite curved bays on the ground floor, each with a tent-shaped canopy above.

Local climate

The Mount sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
