Description

Mount Pleasant Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1635, as indicated by wrought iron letters on the stack, with a later service wing added to the rear. The building is timber framed and has a roughcast render finish, with a plaintiled roof at the front and a pantiled roof at the rear. It stands two storeys tall with an attic and is designed in a two-cell form.

The main range features three original ovolo-moulded mullion and transom windows at the first floor level, which are a comparatively rare feature for a farmhouse. The window on the left gable has a later bracketed sill, while the other two retain their original moulded sills. Other windows in the farmhouse are 18th and 19th century casements. The entrance door is boarded, and at the rear, there is a lobby entrance with a 19th century six-panel raised and fielded door, alongside an original mullioned window. Inside, there is a central internal stack with rebuilt sawtooth hexagonal flues and inset panels on the front and rear.
