The Mount

The Mount is a house attached to the end of a row, dated 1684 for Walter Seville. It has undergone various alterations and additions in the 18th century and early 19th century. The building is constructed of coursed and random rubble limestone, with ashlar chimneys and roofs made of stone, Welsh slate, concrete tile, and artificial stone slate. It is two storeys high with a cellar and attic, and there are various attached rear buildings that form a small courtyard.

The front of the house likely originally had three windows. The upper floor retains outer three-light and central two-light recessed chamfered mullioned casements. The outer ground floor features tripartite sashes without glazing bars. There is an off-centre doorway with a stone lintel and a six-panel door, along with continuous drip courses. The eaves level was probably raised in the early 19th century. To the left, there is an addition with single-window fenestration in plain raised surrounds, and a leaded upper floor casement. The gable end chimneys have chamfered caps.

To the right, a half gable of a later rear wing is recessed, featuring a doorway with a heavy timber lintel and a folding plank door that has early ironmongery, including a dated plate, which may have been moved from the central front doorway. The east side shows the full gable end of the front range to the left with single-light casements, one of which has stone lintels leading to a late 18th-century wing to the right.

At the rear, there is a roughly central gabled bacon smoke-house addition that blocks a two-light window and has eaves-level vents. Two two-storey rear wings enclose the courtyard, with one wing having a further outbuilding parallel to the front range and a pentice roof attached to the ranges of outbuildings. Walter Seville owned Seville's Mill during the second half of the 17th century, which has since been demolished. There is also a pair of contemporary gatepiers to the southwest.
