Description
This grand period property, known as The Mount, has been owned by the same family for 50 years and boasts a rich literary and artistic heritage. The house, which dates back to the 16th century, has been extensively renovated and expanded over the years, with the most significant addition being a late 19th-century extension that introduced "Tudor revival" architectural elements. The property features nearly 7,500 square feet of living space across three levels, including an expansive drawing room, formal dining room, and eight bedrooms. The house is surrounded by beautifully landscaped formal gardens, which were redesigned in the late 1800s, and features a large lawn, ornamental pond, and specimen trees. Additional amenities include an outdoor swimming pool, historic greenhouse, triple garage, and store. The property is located in the semi-rural setting of Spring Lane, Cookham Dean, near the River Thames and within easy reach of the towns and villages of Marlow, Cookham, and Maidenhead.
