South Mount

House. Built in the mid-18th century, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries, and 20th-century additions. Constructed from roughly coursed limestone rubble, the roof is covered in concrete tiles. The house is two storeys and has an attic, with three windows on the first floor. A two-storey wing was added to the rear left in the early to mid-20th century. The front has three leaded casement windows on each floor, with chamfered reed lintels; the left-hand windows are 20th century, the right-hand ones 19th century, and they are arranged with one to the left and two to the right of a roughly central, hip-roofed porch constructed in the 20th century. Windows on the first floor are directly below the eaves. There is an integral end stack to the right, featuring a dripstone and red brick capping. The rear of the main range has two unremarkable 20th-century outshuts, a 3-light leaded casement window on the first floor, and a 20th-century gabled dormer. The added wing has inset late-20th-century doors and windows. The left return of the house has a late-20th-century window to the ground floor and attic. The wing also has late-20th-century garage doors, various 20th-century windows, and a ridge stack. The interior of the main range retains old beams and joists, a large fireplace in the right-hand room with a timber bressumer and bread-oven, and collared principal rafter trusses with two tiers of butt purlins. The interior of the house, though much altered, retains chamfered spine beams and joists to the ground- and first-floor rooms, and a double-butt-purlin roof with collar trusses visible in the attic. The building is included on the list for its group value.
