Accommodation
The Mount was built in 1913 and offers bright and versatile accommodation over two levels. The property retains an array of original features such as doors, floors and ceilings to the reception rooms, that blend well with modern additions.

The porch leads directly into a welcoming reception hall, with polished timber floor and a wide carpeted staircase that leads to the first floor. From the hall, there are two main reception rooms, the sitting room and dining room, both of which enjoy large windows, fireplaces and views of the garden. The sitting room has a gas coal effect fire set in a stone surround, while the dining room boasts an open fire and glazed doors to a charming covered verandah.

The kitchen is fitted with an excellent range of shaker style units with solid beech worksurfaces, a ceramic sink and integrated appliances. This room enjoys a multifuel stove and windows on two elevations, giving lovely views over the gardens. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful pantry with fitted storage units and open shelving, and a utility/boot room, with storage units, plumbing for white goods, and a stable door leading out to the garden. A ground floor WC located off the utility room, completes the ground floor accommodation.

The impressive original staircase rises to the first floor via a half landing, where the family bathroom can be found. The bathroom enjoys a double ended bath, separate shower cubicle and fitted cabinetry. There are four double bedrooms arranged over the first floor, with varying outlooks over the gardens, pond area and countryside beyond.


Outside
The Mount is approached via a gravelled driveway, providing ample parking and turning. To the side of the house is a substantial detached garage with attached workshop/potting shed. This whole building could be used to create annexe accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.

The glorious formal garden is a real credit to the owners and was professionally landscaped approximately 7 years ago, designed to offer various areas of interest. There is a large, paved terrace directly to the rear of the property with box hedge borders, and a superb pergola, both offering ideal spots for al fresco entertaining. Lawns wrap around the house, with established flower beds, mature shrubs, bushes and rhododendrons. In addition, there is a charming orchard, greenhouse, and covered verandah to the front of the house.

A gated archway leads from the garden to the most delightful area of wilder planting, with three large ponds and a charming wooded area, all offering a haven for wildlife. Tranquil and sheltered, this area also enjoys views over the surrounding countryside.

In all, the grounds extend to 2.32 acres.
