Description

Bywell Cottage and Mount Pleasant are two adjoining houses, originally part of a school, dating from the 17th to 18th century and remodelled in the 19th century. They feature slatestone rubble walls and asbestos slate roofs, with brick chimneys on the gable ends and one stack over the party wall, all having diagonally-set brick shafts. The buildings have a T-shaped plan, with two rooms in each house and single-storey lean-tos attached to the south and east gable ends.

Mount Pleasant, located to the west, has a three-window front with eaves raised in the 1840s to create an upper floor. It has a central doorway with a gable roof and flanking ground floor windows in their original openings, while the first floor windows are more closely spaced. Bywell Cottage features a central entrance on the north wall with a glazed gable porch and a window to the far right. The south wall has two windows on the ground floor and three on the first floor, positioned above the original eaves level within a continuous flat-roofed dormer. The buildings also have cast iron ogee gutters. The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted that the west ground floor of Bywell Cottage is said to have served as a schoolroom.
