Description
Mount Pleasant Cottage is an early 19th-century semi-detached cottage. It is located in Fairford and is part of a group of buildings of historical interest. The cottage is constructed of random coursed rubble stone with a stone slate roof and a brick end stack to the right. It has a single main range with a 20th-century extension to the rear, and a single storey with an attic. The roof has three gabled dormers with long, paired, plain wooden casements and rendered gables. The ground floor features a four-pane sash window with a timber lintel below each window, and a gabled, later glazed porch with a half-glazed door situated between windows 2 and 3. The cottage is included on the list due to its group value in relation to Mount Pleasant House.
