The house was of classic Georgian character with large 6-over-6 double-hung sliding timber sash windows and a central double-panelled door. The symmetrical house has an unusual 'tooled' finish of the facingbrickwork. The school was designed with a practical 'H-shaped' layout, inc classrooms, 2 external courtyards, dormitories and areas for domestic administration. The school opened in 1895, but closed as a specialist deaf school in the early 2000's when the adjoining Willows Primary School was constructed under the PFI school building scheme. Parts of The Mount have remained in education use ever since. The Willows Primary School already occupy some of the ground floor, however, the first and second floors have been unoccupied since the building was last in use as The Mount Education Centre in 2018, and require extensive fabric repairs due to water damage and neglect. The Mount was first Listed Grade II in April 1972. The city council conservation officer and Historic England have also helped inform the scope of the proposed repair and alteration works.
