Description
Pleasant View is a row of three cottages dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. They are constructed from rubble stone and feature roofs made of corrugated iron and Bridgwater tiles. The cottages are one storey high with attics.
No. 1 has a coped left end gable and a ridge stack at the right end. It includes one 2-light ovolo-moulded window with a dripstone in the end wall, a front first-floor casement, a ground-floor 20th-century lean-to, and a 2-light recessed chamfered mullion window with a dripstone.
No. 2, which is from the early 18th century, has a right coped gable and an end stack. It features two dormer gables with 2-light windows—one with a hood and the other with a dripmould—as well as a ground-floor single light, a door, and a 3-light window. All windows are flush cyma-moulded, and the door is set within a 20th-century porch.
No. 3 is a later 18th-century extension that has a coped end gable, a truncated stack, and a 20th-century dormer. The door is in a chamfered surround, with a single cyma-moulded light to the right. There is also a two-light cyma-moulded window at the rear.
