Description
Myrtle Cottage is an attached house dating from around 1800. It features lias stone walls that have been scraped, with stone rusticated quoins. The roof is made of patent tiles and has stone gable-copings. There are two rendered stacks located at the left and right gables. The house is two storeys high and has three windows, which are 20th-century three-light wooden casements without glazing bars, with stone arch-voussoirs above them. The front door is centrally located, consisting of four panels with two top lights, and is framed by a wooden architrave with panelled reveals. There is a one-bay extension from the early 19th century that is also two storeys high, has the same roof, and features one brick stack and similar windows.
