Description
Mount Pleasant Farmhouse and the adjoining barn date back to 1790, as indicated by an inscription above the entrance, with an early 19th-century extension. The farmhouse features roughcast walls, an eaves cornice, and V-jointed quoins set on a chamfered plinth. It has a graduated greenslate roof with coped gables and kneelers, along with banded sandstone ashlar end chimney stacks, one of which has been partly rebuilt in brick. The extension has similar roughcast walls with flush quoins and a coped gable topped with a shaped finial.
The barn is constructed from a mix of limestone and sandstone rubble, also featuring flush quoins and a graduated greenslate roof. It is two storeys high with three bays, accompanied by a lower two-storey, single-bay extension and a lower left two-bay barn. The centre of the barn has a 20th-century door set in an alternate-block surround beneath a dated keyed lintel. Sash windows flank the entrance, with double windows on either side and one above, all set in raised stone surrounds. The extension includes similar sash windows, with double windows on the ground floor. The barn has an off-centre plank door in a stone surround, and a left segmental archway that is now partly blocked, featuring a casement window. The rear of the barn has a large cart or garage entrance with a brick surround and a left 19th-century pent extension.
