Description
Pleasant Place is a house with origins in the 17th century, with additions from the 18th century and mid-19th century. It features chequered brickwork, with the northeast block being colour washed and encasing substantial timber framing, while the northwest block contains less substantial timber framing. The roof is made of old clay tiles. The earlier northeast block may have originally been part of the 1770s Malting Farm complex, along with the 19th-century southeast blocks.
The house is two storeys high. The northeast block has a 20th-century flat-roofed extension on the left side. To the right of this extension, both floors have three two-light casements with glazing bars and cambered heads. There are French windows in the centre of the ground floor and above the 20th-century extension on the first floor. A 20th-century semicircular bay is present on the ground floor of the southeast gable.
On the southeast elevation of the 19th-century block, the right-hand section has four sashes with glazing bars and louvred shutters on the first floor, along with a flush panel door, three French windows, and a glazed door on the ground floor. The central block is lower and features three sashes with glazing bars on the ground floor and two similar ones on the first floor, flanking a dummy window, all under cambered heads. There is a plank door on the right-hand side. The left-hand block is even lower and has casement windows, with those on the ground floor also under cambered heads.
