About this property

The House That Tells The Story Of Reading's Golden Age

Long before Reading became a thriving university town and commuter hub, it was one of the great industrial success stories of Victorian Britain. And few addresses tell that story quite like The Mount.

Built as part of the prestigious crescent commissioned to house senior managers, foremen and clerks of the world-famous Huntley & Palmers biscuit empire, this handsome Grade II Listed detached home forms part of one of Reading's most important and sought-after conservation areas. More than a century later, it remains every bit as impressive.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In Reading, 2026/27 bills run from £1,742 a year in band A to £5,226 in band H.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Reading, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
