Description
Myrtle House is a house dating from the 16th and 18th centuries. It has a timber frame and is clad on the left side in chequered brick, while the right side is in red brick, which is dated 1746. The roof is covered with plain tiles and is hipped, with a projecting end stack on the left and a ridge stack at the centre right. The house has two storeys on a plinth, featuring four casement windows on the first floor and three on the ground floor, all set in segment-headed openings. There is a 20th-century half-glazed door located at the centre right. The left side front is clad in mathematical tiling. Inside, the roof has been renewed, but smoke-blackened timbers are still visible. There are also two inscribed bricks that read "J H 1746" and "R:C 46".
