The Mount, Cookham Dean

The Mount is a country house in Cookham Dean, Berkshire, England. It was originally built as a hunting lodge in the 16th century and subsequently extended in the late 19th century so that it now has three floors, four reception rooms, twelve bedrooms and four bathrooms. It is on a plot of 3.5 acres on high ground overlooking the Thames river.

It was listed for protection as Grade II on 21 September 1987.

The author Kenneth Grahame lived here as a child after his mother died when he was five. The house belonged to his maternal grandmother, Mary Inglis, and he lived there for two years with her and his uncle, David, who was the curate of the parish church. The locality was influential in the creation of his writing such as The Wind in the Willows.

Other famous people associated with the house include Sir Stanley Spencer, who painted a picture of it.
