Description
Myrtle Cottage is a picturesque cottage located on a pathway in a pinewood, built around 1850. The cottage features a ground floor and semi-attic made of red brick with some grey headers. It has an L-shaped plan that is diagonal to the pathway, with a lean-to timber verandah-porch set across the angle. The windows are mullioned casements with diamond lattice glazing, consisting of three lights with a transom on the ground floor and two lights on the first floor. The roofs are steeply pitched and adorned with ornamental scalloped tiles arranged in bands that alternate with ordinary tiles, extending low at the rear. The eaves are overhanging, and the bargeboards are plain. The gable ends have canted bays with hipped roofs on the ground floor. There is a diagonally set pair of chimneystacks on the ridge and a projecting single-storey storehouse wing to the north-west. All the listed buildings in Wallisdown Road and Columbia Road form a group.
