Description

Myrtle House, built around 1730, is a house located on Mill Street in Eynsham. It is rendered over limestone rubble and features a hipped 20th-century tile roof, with brick stacks on the right end and at the rear. The house has a two-unit plan and is designed in an early Georgian style, standing three storeys high with a three-window range. To the right, there is an 18th-century six-panelled door with an overlight, set within plain raised architraves that have carved brackets supporting a dentilled pediment. The windows are six-pane sashes with cornices above eared architraves that have bracketed sills; similar shouldered architraves above are eared at the base. A moulded wood cornice runs along the top. At the rear, there is an 18th-century wing made from similar materials. Inside, there is a straight-flight staircase with turned balusters.

To the right of the house is an attached outbuilding made of colourwashed limestone rubble, featuring a gabled 20th-century tile roof. This outbuilding is two storeys tall and has timber lintels over late 18th-century six-pane sash windows and plank doors leading to a double-entry on the right.
