Mount Pleasant House is a charming detached, painted stone built property dating back to the late 18th century which was extended in the early 19th century and comprehensibly refurbished and updated more recently. The house is light and spacious and has a wonderful period feel with many original features retained including wood panelling, beams and panel doors to the inside with bath stone features and appealing original door frame and curved canopy to the outside. The hall has wood flooring, leaded windows and roof light with cloakroom off. The large drawing room has a bay window with seating and fantastic views across the river. The open fireplace has a carved wood surround and ornate fire basket on a marble hearth. The sitting room, entered from the dining room or the original entrance hall, also enjoys distant views and has a bay window with seating. There is a wood surround fireplace with a woodburner on a stone hearth. The wonderful dining room has very old wood panelling reclaimed from period houses and churches and exposed beams. There is a very decorative bath stone fireplace with wood mantel and old brick hearth. A fantastic feature of this room is the bath stone surrounded leaded windows and arched door leading out to the courtyard area. The kitchen/breakfast room, with wood floor, is fitted with custom made natural wood and cream painted floor and wall units with a mix of wood and black granite worktops. There is a deep Belfast sink, space for fridge, dishwasher and microwave. The island unit has space for a cooker and provides further storage space. At the heart of the kitchen is a blue Aga recessed into the fireplace with ornamental wood surround and attractive blue and white tiles. A separate pantry with stone floor provides plenty of shelf space. Stairs from the original hall lead up to the half landing where the stairs divide. The master bedroom has sash windows with wonderful views across the river and into the distance. It is a lovely light room with a partial wall divide behind which is the dressing room with built in wardrobes and a freestanding double ended roll top bath. An attractive stone mullioned oriel window is a particularly striking feature of the room. Doors then give access to the stylish and contemporary shower room with polished stone tiling and superb walk in shower. A further double bedroom enjoys the beautiful views and has built in wardrobes and a wash basin. A second landing area has a bank of built in cupboards and a further double bedroom off. The family bathroom has exposed wood floors and a white suite with over bath shower. From the main hall, a second staircase leads up to a small landing with two further bedrooms, both with stunning views, and a shower room with wood floor and tiled shower.
Mount Pleasant is approached from the lane and entered through double white gates in a curved wall onto the tarmac drive and parking area. The gardens are a delightful combination of lawns, paths, walls and steps interspersed with beds, mixed borders and specimen trees. A charming wisteria cloaks part of the house. The lawn to the front of the property is a perfect place to sit and relax or dine whilst savouring the fabulous views and a large stone paved patio area has the remains of an old grotto which in the past was spring fed. A rose arch leads to a further area of lawn with a summer house and steps take you up to the vegetable garden with raised beds and rabbit proof fencing. There is a soft fruit garden, with a green house, which includes strawberries, raspberries and rhubarb. There is an area of land that formerly housed chickens and a steep paddock with access down to the river. A further area of the gardens have been naturalised and is an ideal environment for wildlife. The attached outbuildings include a W.C. and a large room with power and light, Belfast sink and space for washing machine, tumble dryer and freezers. Off the lane is the old brick built pump house, used for storage, and attached to the cottage is the garage with storage space above. The charming, detached stone cottage has an attractive porch with door into the living/dining room, wonderful views and a large stone fireplace with woodburner on a slate hearth. The kitchen, again with views, has fitted floor and wall units, stainless steel sink and space for cooker and fridge. A ledge and brace door leads to the good sized utility room with plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher. Stairs from the living room go up to the landing with ledge and brace doors leading to two bedrooms, bathroom with bath and shower over and a separate W.C. The cottage has a gravel patio and its own separate parking area.
