The Myrtles

The Myrtles is a detached house and former carriage store, now a garage, dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed of brick with a stone plinth and dressings, and has a Cotswold stone slate roof with brick end stacks. The house has a U-shaped plan, originally comprising two separate front and rear ranges linked by a covered passage, likely added in the 19th century.

The house is two storeys and has an attic, with three windows on the front elevation. These are 4-pane sash windows with moulded stone architraves and triple keystones. Two similar windows are located on the ground floor, with a central doorcase projecting forward over a triple keystone and featuring side consoles. The entrance door is 20th century, comprising six fielded panels and a semi-circular radial fanlight, accessed via two large semi-circular stone steps. Three gabled dormers, each with a plain pediment and a 4-pane sash window, light the attic. Architectural details include a stone sill band to the ground floor, a plat band between floors, panelled pilaster strips, a moulded cornice, and a small brick parapet.

The interior retains much of its original joinery, including a fine open-well staircase. The former carriage store has a rendered front on brick and features a single large curved gable with a moulded edge and a hipped pantile roof to the rear. It contains a double carriage arch with a curved timber lintel and double timber doors, and three round keyed oculi in the gable above.
