Description
No. 2 Mount Pleasant is a house from the late 18th century, featuring a front that is built on an older core. It is constructed of red brick with gauged-brick dressings and has a plain tiled roof, with a tile-hung gable at the left end. The building stands three storeys tall, with end stacks and a stone-coped eaves parapet.
The front has three windows and end pier buttresses. On the second floor, there are round-arched glazing-bar sash windows beneath gauged-brick heads. The central feature is a canted bay oriel window that has a modillioned cornice and a flat lead roof, with one round-arched glazing-bar sash window on each face of the oriel, complete with iron sills below.
The first floor contains three tripartite sash windows, with the central window located beneath the oriel and surrounded by Doric pilasters. All windows feature reeded mullions. On the ground floor, there are two tripartite windows, one on either side of a central flat-roofed portico, which was originally open and supported by Doric piers. The front door consists of six panels, with windows on either side.
