Full Details

The Mount is an outstanding five-bedroom family home, beautifully presented and rich in period features. The property has undergone an extensive programme of renovation and redecoration by the current owners, resulting in a remarkably light interior. Contemporary design has been thoughtfully integrated with the home’s attractive character features, creating a stylish yet sympathetic finish throughout. The Mount offers a wonderful sense of space across all levels.

The period front door opens into an impressive, room-sized entrance hall-deal for welcoming guests or even accommodating a grand Christmas tree. The ground floor comprises two generous reception rooms, with the dual-aspect dining room flowing seamlessly into the kitchen to create an fabulous entertaining space. The sitting room, positioned adjacent to the kitchen, provides a comfortable and elegant living area, complete with engineered timber flooring and an inset wood-burning stove set within what is believed to be the original fireplace surround.
French doors flood the interior with natural light and open directly onto the terrace and garden beyond. The modern kitchen features tiled flooring, an abundance of wall and base units, and a large walk-in pantry. Polished granite work surfaces incorporate an inset porcelain sink with drainer, perfectly positioned to enjoy views of the garden, along with an Insinkerator boiling water tap. The dual-aspect design, with feature windows and additional French doors to the terrace, enhances the light and airy feel of the space. A well-designed single-storey extension also provides a convenient ground floor WC.

On the first floor, a bright and open landing leads to three double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The second floor offers two further double bedrooms, both enjoying fantastic views, along with a stylish second bathroom.

The Mount occupies a delightful plot with attractive gardens to both the front and rear of the property. The main gardens enjoy a south-westerly aspect and feature a substantial Indian sandstone terrace, with steps leading down to a well-maintained lawn bordered by generously stocked flower beds. The boundaries are defined by timber fencing, complemented by mature planting and an established evergreen hedge, creating a private and appealing outdoor space. The sale also includes a timber shed, greenhouse, and wood stores. Despite its convenient ‘edge of city’ location with easy access to a wide range of amenities, the property benefits from a wonderfully rural outlook and setting.
The front garden features gated access leading to an extensive gravelled area and a large, mature garden. This space is attractively landscaped with well-stocked beds, specimen plants, and a variety of established shrubs. It also includes a substantial timber shed and is enclosed by high-quality close-board fencing, offering both privacy and practicality.
