Description
Myrtle Cottage is a small house built in the early 19th century. It features a stucco exterior on a studwork frame and has an asbestos slate hipped roof with a brick chimney on the right side. The house has a shallow-depth plan and stands two storeys tall with a four-window range. The original windows are 12-pane hornless sashes, except for 20th-century horned copies located to the left of the centre on the first floor, as well as the two larger sashes on the ground floor and the first-floor sash on the left-hand return, which is situated above a 20th-century flat-roofed garage. The central doorway is adorned with panelled pilasters, an open pediment, a round-arched traceried fanlight, and a panelled door. The interior has not been inspected.
