Myrtle Cottage

Myrtle Cottage is a house with origins dating back to the 17th century, featuring later alterations and additions. It is constructed of painted rubble and has a plain tiled roof with stone ridge and gable stacks, along with some pantiles and double Roman tiles. The building follows a lobby entry plan and is 1 and a half storeys high. The front elevation includes a catslide roof to the left over a small round-headed opening and a porch with a segmental-headed opening. The door has raised fillets, and to the right is a small round-headed opening. There are two 3-light casements with 20th-century glazing and timber lintels, and above is a gabled dormer featuring a 3-light round-headed window. To the right, there is a single-storey pantiled addition that includes a 2-light casement and a door on the side.

On the left side, there is a large weathered external stack, and set into a recess in the stack at ground floor is a 2-light round-headed window with round mouldings and a relieving arch. The first floor has a similar 3-light window with a hood mould and relieving arch, which may have been re-used from Clapton Court. There are small lancets on either side of the stack. The right return features a 2-light casement at the first floor. The rear of the cottage has two 2-light casements and one 3-light casement, along with a small single light, likely for the stair, and a gabled dormer with a 2-light casement and two roof lights. There is also a single-storey lean-to addition on the left with a large 2-light casement and a double Roman tiled roof.

Inside, there are chamfered beams and a wide fireplace at the ridge stack with a heavy chamfered lintel and remnants of an oven recess. A 20th-century straight stair is located at the rear in the position of a former stair, but the rest of the interior is not accessible.
