Description
Mount Pleasant consists of three cottages built in the late 18th century or early 19th century. They are constructed of stucco with stone dressings and have a slate roof. Each cottage features an entrance with a plain surround and a 20th-century door. To the right of each entrance, there is one window per storey, also with a plain surround and projecting sills. The third cottage has 20th-century casements, while the other two have sash windows. The cottages have right-hand quoins, eaves with modillions, and a right-hand kneeler. The right-hand gable end has a ridge stack, along with two additional ridge stacks.
