The Mount

Late Georgian villa. Walls are rendered; shallow pitched hipped slate roofs with tall narrow brick ridge stacks. Two storeys. Windows are mostly 12-pane sashes with narrow glazing bars in reveals. Main S wing comprises a central 2-window range with moulded cornice; ground floor flat roofed portico with heavy moulded entablature and side pilasters with cornices, segmental-arched doorway with keystone. To right a projecting two-storey canted flat roofed bay with cornice moulding and parapet; 4-pane sashes to each elevation and storey. At each end and matching to front though different to side are the hipped roofed outer bays, a 2-window range to each floor. Facing E a second frontage has been created for The Mount Lodge, a separate dwelling, with further 12-pane sashes. To rear the double-pile plan of this E wing is visible, also the rear elevation of the S wing with a 16-pane sash and staircase window with arched lights.

Portico lobby gives onto wide and deep hall with low plaster ceiling with lozenge panels; panelled basket-arch to stairs at rear right. 6-panelled doors, panelled reveals and shutters to main rooms; wholly panelled study. Drawing room has an ornate carved white marble fireplace with round-arched cast iron grate.
