Description
Mount Pleasant is a farmhouse built in the mid-18th century, with later alterations and additions from the mid-19th and 20th centuries. It was constructed as an estate farm for the Lucy family of Charlecote Park. The building is made of brick, with the south elevation featuring rat-trap bond and buff headers, and it has tile roofs with brick end stacks.
The farmhouse is two storeys plus an attic and has a symmetrical three-window arrangement. It features a brick plinth, two plat bands, and a top modillioned brick cornice with a central pediment. The entrance has a segmental head and a 20th-century doorcase flanked by pairs of Doric columns and a hood. The windows are mostly three-light transomed casements, with the central first-floor window having a cross-casement. The attic includes a Diocletian window in the pediment and flanking gabled dormers with two-light casements.
At the rear, there is a large two-storey wing to the right, accompanied by two shorter lower wings, and a single-storey wing at the end. The inner return features a catslide outshut, a 20th-century canted bay, and a porch with a round arch leading to a 20th-century inner entrance. To the left, there is a two-storey canted bay with small-paned gables on the windows.
Inside, the farmhouse has an upper flight of 18th-century stick-baluster staircase, some panelling in the upper rooms, and the original roof structure is still intact.
