Description
The Pheasant Inn is a mid-18th century, three-storey detached house located at the junction of Mount Pleasant and Whitley Street, facing south up Whitley Street. The building is constructed of rendered brick and features a string course at the second floor level, an eaves cornice, and a high-pitched hipped roof covered with modern tiles, flanked by chimneys. It has tripartite glazing bar sash windows arranged in two ranges with central panels. The entrance boasts a central six-panel door topped with an early 19th-century flat moulded hood supported by slender columns. To the left, there is a later lean-to addition. The property is enclosed to the south by a metalled oval area, which is bordered by early 19th-century spearhead railings with square standards topped with urns.
