The Mount is a beautiful Grade II listed country house located in a picturesque setting of about 3.5 acres of gardens and grounds, with far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The property has a rich history, having been the former home of Kenneth Grahame, author of "The Wind in the Willows," and Sir Stanley Spencer, a renowned English artist. The house itself boasts a stunning panelled drawing room, elegant fireplace, and bay window overlooking the formal gardens. There are eight bedrooms, three family bathrooms, and a WC on the first floor, with a continuation of the rear staircase leading to the second floor, which is currently laid out as a self-contained flat. The gardens are a highlight of the property, featuring a lovely elevated terrace, sunken garden, and woodland walkway, as well as an outdoor swimming pool and a former kitchen garden. The property is located in a semi-rural location on Spring Lane, yet is conveniently situated for the nearby village of Cookham, which offers a range of shops, pubs, and restaurants.
