Description
Mount Pleasant is a house dating from the late 17th to early 18th century. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble, with a thatched roof and brick stacks. The building originally comprised two units, with a three-window front. A central gabled porch was added in the early 20th century, built from limestone rubble with a tile roof, and featuring a 20th-century door within a pointed arch. To the left of the porch is a flat stone arch, while timber lintels above 20th-century two-light casement windows are on the right. Further 20th-century two-light casement windows are located within half-dormers. A 20th-century lean-to extension has been added to the left side. The roof is gabled, with gable-end stacks. At the rear, there are two two-light leaded casement windows and one mid-19th century two-light casement within a half-dormer. Inside, the room to the left features a full set of chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and a chamfered bressumer over an open fireplace. The room to the right has a chamfered bressumer over a remodelled fireplace. The attic was not inspected but is likely to be of interest.
