Description
Mount Pleasant Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1793, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a slate roof with brick end stacks. The building has a T-plan layout, is two storeys high with an attic, and has a three-window range. The main front faces the garden and includes tripartite sash windows on the ground floor with flat-arched heads, while the first floor has 16-pane sashes with segmental-arched heads. There are storey bands at the first and attic floor levels, and the eaves are decorated with dentilled brick. A central ground floor window has replaced the original door, and the attic windows have been blocked. At the rear, there is a lower two-storey wing and a single-storey wing to the right. The right side of the rear wing has a brick inscribed with "T Hoe 1793." This farmhouse was formerly part of the Duke of Rutland's Belvoir estate.
