This attractive listed building in the heart of Guildford town centre is believed to officially date back to the late seventeenth century according to English Heritage with its occupants over the years contributing greatly to the history and economy of Guildford as the area grew from local parish to market town with weavers, clothiers and ultimately victuallers and the brewing industry playing the most significant part in its story. The Mount was the original highway from Guildford to Farnham and the perfect location as an Ale House. In the mid 1800s it is noted as being called The Wheatseaf and was owned by the Lindsay family and continued as an Inn for many years and then into a pub when it closed in 1954.

Most recently the property has been converted into two duplex apartments, offering flexible accommodation yet retaining many period features including hardwood floors, exposed brick fireplaces and feature exposed beams. The second apartment, known as Wheatsheaf Lodge, has its entrance to the side of the property. Stairs lead you straight up to the first floor to the generous sitting room, also with original exposed brick fireplace. There is also a well-equipped kitchen and further reception room, ideal as a dining room or a study.
