Description
Mount Pleasant is a farmhouse with outbuildings and a surrounding wall, dating to the 1830s. Additional wings were constructed in the mid-19th century, followed by a piggery in the early 20th century. The house is built of granite rubble, with dressed granite detailing to the front and whitewashed on the rear. The roof is covered in scantle slate, half-hipped, with red clay ridge tiles. There are red brick stacks on the end walls of the house.
The original house comprises two principal rooms with a cross-passage entrance between them. A shallow pantry is located behind the small parlour on the right-hand side, while the larger room to the left was likely the kitchen, housing a staircase. The kitchen is now situated within a rear wing added in the mid-19th century. This wing incorporates a stable, cartshed with an open back, and a hay loft above. A single-story byre was also added in the mid-19th century to the left side of the house, and an early 20th-century piggery was built on the rear northeast side of the farmyard.
The two-story house has a symmetrical three-window front featuring small, circa late 19th-century, four-pane sashes with granite lintels and cills, and a central doorway with a four-panel moulded door, now under a small, 20th-century gabled brick porch. A low-hipped roofed byre adjoins the left side, with a fixed four-pane window and a plank door to the left, alongside a wide doorway to the right, facing the yard. The rear elevation of the house presents an early 19th-century 16-pane sash. A horizontally sliding sash, with glazing bars on the interior, is found on the rear wing, close to the rear doorway. Stone steps lead to a loft doorway with a boarded door. The end of the rear wing is open, displaying a cart shed on the ground floor and a corrugated iron-clad loft above.
Inside, the right-hand room contains a Victorian cast iron chimney-piece featuring a cambered arch with a keyblock and decorative roses and cherries. The left-hand room has a 20th-century chimney-piece, replacing the original range, with the staircase boxed in against the back wall.
The complex includes a detached piggery to the northeast, which is a long rectangular building with a scantle slate roof and red clay ridge tiles. It has five doorways facing the yard, with a feeding passage extending along the back inside; the right-hand doorway provides access. Additionally, the farmyard wall along the rear, fronting the road, is included. It consists of whitewashed granite rubble and features a pair of square-section granite gate piers marking the farmyard gateway.
