Description
Myrtle Grove is a house dating from the late 18th century, constructed of stone rubble with brick dressings. It features a roof with gable ends, covered with scantle slates on the front slope and rag slates on the rear, along with brick end chimney stacks. The building has a two-room and cross passage plan, with the staircase located in the passage and an outshut on the left-hand gable end.
The house is two storeys high and has an almost symmetrical three-window front. The ground floor displays three tall pointed arches with brick dressings, although some openings have been partly blocked with large slates. The left opening contains an early 19th-century two-light casement, while the right features a possibly late 19th-century two-light casement. The central entrance is marked by a 19th-century plank door and a 19th-century open gabled timber porch with a slate roof. On the first floor, there are three probably 19th-century two-light casements.
The rear elevation includes a small stair window in a pointed arch with brick dressings, alongside a late 18th-century or early 19th-century two-light casement that retains its original glass. Inside, there is a staircase from around the 1830s located in the passage, with a partition on the left-hand side of the passage having been removed. The left-hand gable end features a cloam oven in the fireplace, with an unmoulded timber lintel and a brick segmental relieving arch above. The right-hand room has slightly chamfered ceiling beams with straight-cut stops, while the left-hand room contains unmoulded heavier timbers. The roof timbers are only partly accessible, consisting of roughly cut, fairly slight principals.
It is locally believed that Myrtle Grove was used as a meeting house. Both the front and rear elevations remain unaltered and are particularly picturesque.
