Mount Pleasant

Mount Pleasant is a former farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 18th century with 20th-century alterations. It is constructed of Flemish bond orange brick with yellow headers and features a Welsh slate roof with two gable brick chimneys. The building has a narrow double-pile plan and a symmetrical three-bay front that rises three stories. The end bays contain two-light horizontal sliding sashes with glazing bars below, 20th-century casements at the first floor, and six-pane sashes above, all topped with flat wedged, gauged, and rubbed brick heads. The central bay features an attractive mid-19th-century cast-iron porch with a flat roof made of pierced panels. The entrance includes a six-panelled door, two of which are glazed, set within a 20th-century wooden doorcase. Inside, there is an open well painted pine staircase with pairs of moulded square balusters on each tread and circular newels. The room to the left has a pair of cupboards with panelled doors set in reeded architraves, and there are six-panelled pine doors with raised fields throughout. Additionally, there is a brick-vaulted cellar accessed by stone steps.
