Igbetti

This is a house, formerly known as Myrtle House, that was largely rebuilt in the mid-18th century, with an additional storey added during the same period. Later alterations and additions occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is constructed of sandstone rubble, formerly stuccoed, with limestone detailing, brick sections, and a double Roman tile roof, with pantiles to the rear. The roof has stone gable stacks.

The front elevation has two storeys and three windows, all of which are sash windows in exposed boxes (modern replacements). The ground floor windows have external shutters. A central six-panelled door has a decorative overlight and is sheltered by a flat-roofed porch with Doric columns. The front features a prominent cornice and deep eaves supported by corbels, along with two roof-lights.

The left return has a sash window on both the ground and first floors. The roof pitch was extended to cover a mid-19th century addition. The ground floor of this return features paired sashes with segmental heads within brick surrounds, while the first floor has two sashes with wider central panes, set within similar surrounds. The right return has a sash window on the ground floor and a 19th-century sash window on the first floor, alongside a limestone-built canted bay with plate-glass sashes on the ground floor. Above the canted bay is a pair of 19th-century sashes set in a limestone surround, and the gable ends feature decorative scalloped bargeboards.

The rear elevation incorporates a 19th-century sash window centrally located on the first floor. A single-storey addition is present, featuring two doors and two windows; the left window is a two-light design and the right is a three-light design, both with segmental heads. A small lean-to addition with a door is situated to the left. Brick quoins define the 19th-century addition.

Inside, the front right room contains a wide fireplace with stone jambs and a carved stone lintel incorporating moulded ribs, a chamfered edge, and carved trefoils, similar in style to the fireplace at Dumper’s Farmhouse. The room also has dado panelling and plain cornices. The layout suggests a possible original through-passage house.
