Description

Mount Pleasant is a detached house dating from the 19th century, featuring painted stucco and a slate eaved roof that overhangs at the verges, with corniced brick end stacks. The house has two storeys at the front and four storeys at the rear due to the steep slope of the site. The front has a three-window arrangement of 12-pane sash windows with slate sills, and a central door with a slate front slab. The entrance features a six-panel door with an overlight, set within a timber Roman Doric columned porch that has two columns, pilaster responds, a frieze, and a cornice. The left end wall is finished in painted stucco, while the right end wall is made of rubble stone. The tall rubble rear wall has a three-window range, with 12-pane sashes on each side, but differing windows in the centre to light the stair; there is a narrower 12-pane sash on the top floor and an elongated 18-pane sash below it. The property is complemented by reset wrought iron railings along the A44, featuring an arched decorative single gate with slate uprights just west of the house, and double vehicular entrance gates also located just west of the single gateway, which are flanked by rebuilt rubble stone piers.
