Description
Mount Pleasant Farmhouse is a house, formerly a farmhouse, dating from the 16th or 17th century. It is timber framed, with colourwashed render and colourwashed brick, topped by a plain tiled roof. The building has two storeys and an attic.
On the entrance front, there is a projecting gabled wing on the left featuring 20th-century three-light windows on both the ground and first floors, along with a cross-window in the attic. To the right is an axial range that includes another projecting gabled wing, which has a ground floor doorway on the right, a single-light window on the left, and a cross window in the gable. To the left of this wing is a 19th-century five-light window, while to the right are a three-light casement and two cross windows. The first floor features a three-light window and a single light divided by a king mullion on the left, and two 19th-century three-light casements on the right. The right-hand gable end is blank.
On the left side of the front, there is an earlier two-bay portion with three-light ground floor windows on either side of a central door that has a classical surround and a pediment above, with an open gabled porch in front. At first floor level, there are further three-light casements on either side. To the left of this is a 20th-century brick addition that features two tripartite sash windows on the left and a window with two sets of three panes on the right, along with two similar first floor windows and a small sash window on the right. The rear of the building has random fenestration from the 19th and 20th centuries.
The interior has not been inspected.
