Description

Myrtle Cottage is a house dating from the 16th and 18th centuries. It features a combination of painted brick and timber framing, topped with a plain tiled roof. The front of the house showcases a 16th-century timber-framed section alongside an 18th-century brick range.

The entrance front has two storeys with a hipped roof, and there are chimney stacks located at the rear on both the left and right sides. On each floor, there are two wooden casement windows, a boarded door in the center, and a door to the right consisting of six raised and fielded panels.

At the rear, the timber frame is exposed, and there is a continuous jetty at the right end. The roof steps down to the right, featuring a hip and a gabled dormer, with additional stacks on the left and rear left sides.
