Description
Mount Pleasant Cottage is a house dating from the early 19th century, with a slightly older core. The front is made of whitewashed brick and features a parapet that partly obscures the plain tiled hipped roofs. The building has two storeys and includes a rebuilt 20th-century stack at the left end, with another stack located to the right of the centre.
On the first floor, there are outer tripartite cambered-head glazing-bar sash windows with reeded mullions, along with a 12-pane glazing-bar sash window in the centre. The ground floor has a three-light sash window on the right and a hipped-roof canted bay on the left, which has plate glass sash windows. To the left of centre on the ground floor, there is a cambered-head sash window flanking a small square brick porch. The porch features a parapet over a brick dentil course supported by paired piers, and the door is decorated with strapwork in a Chinoiserie pattern. This building is included for its group value.
