Description
Pleasant Cottage is a picturesque cottage located on a pathway in a pinewood, built around 1850. It features a ground floor and a semi-attic, constructed of red brick with some grey headers, although the south gable is now painted. The cottage has a cruciform plan, with gables to the south, east, and north, each having canted bays with hipped roofs on the ground floor. There is a slightly lower west wing that includes a storehouse, which is now used as a garage.
The windows are mullioned casements with diamond lattice glazing, consisting of three lights with a transom on the ground floor and two lights on the first floor. The roofs are steeply pitched and adorned with ornamental scalloped tiles arranged in bands that alternate with ordinary tiles. These roofs extend low over a lean-to timber verandah-porch on the south-east side and over the kitchen on the south-west side, featuring overhanging eaves and plain bargeboards. A central chimneystack with a set-off is positioned over the crossing of the roof.
Pleasant Cottage is part of a group of listed buildings along Wallisdown Road and Columbia Road.
