Description
Myrtle Cottage is a pair of cottages that have been converted into one dwelling, dating from the early 19th century. The building is plastered with an asbestos slate roof featuring gabled ends. It stands two storeys high and has two windows across the front, which are 19th-century casements with glazing bars. There are two doorways at the center, each topped with elliptical arches and gothick fanlights; the right-hand doorway has a plank door, while the left-hand doorway has been converted into a window. A modern concrete cantilevered hood covers the doorways, and there are brick chimney stacks at each gabled end. The cottage is included for its group value.
