A PROPERTY built in classic Georgian country house style is on the market in Oswestry for a mind-blowing £12.5 million!

The Mount in Oswestry is a sprawling 30,000 sq ft set in nearly 50 acres and Savills in Telford has called it ‘one of the most important mansion houses to be built in the last 20 years’.

Tony Morris-Eyton, from Savills in Telford, called the property ‘a rare opportunity’ as it joins the past and the future.

He said: “It is probably the most important newly-built property I have dealt with in my 25 years since I set up the Savills office in Telford.

“The Mount is a classical designed Georgian country house, built in a grand manner, using state of the art technology, positioned to take advantage of the spectacular, far reaching views.

“It is a property with such a depth of architectural integrity complemented by all the modern accessories so often required by buyers these days is a rare proposition.”

The Mount was originally part of the Brogyntyn Estate and belonged to the late Lord Harlech.

The original Edwardian house was demolished about 20 years ago and replaced by a classically inspired creation, designed by the current owners in collaboration with Andrew Arrol and James Wade of Arrol and Partners.

Unlike Its 300-year-old counterparts, there's nothing leaky and cold about this 21st century seat.

The main walls were constructed with hand-carved Derbyshire stone, and there's highly insulated cavity walls, underfloor heating on all levels, and sophisticated but discreet double glazing throughout. 

Highlights of the seven-bed centrepiece include a grand entrance hall with cantilevered staircase leading up to a galleried landing: formal dining and drawing rooms; an open-plan family kitchen: along with a pantry, flower room, angling room and boot room.

An orangery runs the length of the rear wing. and there's space for a snooker room, card room, bar and games rooms, cinema room, sitting room and office in the basement.

Leisure facilities Include a 20m swimming pool with steam room; there's also staff quarters, a lift and garaging for at least five cars.

Savills added that the surrounding rolling parkland ‘complete privacy’, according to the particulars and the all-important sense of arrival via a meandering private drive.
