Description
Mount Pleasant, dating to circa 1847, is a headmaster’s house built in the Domestic Tudor Revival style. The house is constructed of squared limestone with lateral and ridge stacks and a stone slate roof. It is one storey with an attic and features a two-window front, with a porch set at an angle and a projecting gable. The porch is gabled, with a chamfered one-light window above a plank door set in a four-centred arched surround. Above this is a two-light stone mullioned window set in a gabled half dormer with decorative carved bargeboards. Similar bargeboards and mullioned windows are present on the right-hand gable, which also has an oriel window set above a two-light window with four-centred arched heads. Interior details are not known. Historical records suggest it was likely built concurrently with the adjacent school and in matching architectural style, reflecting the availability of grants for headmaster's houses from 1843. It is a prominent feature within a group setting alongside the school and the church.
