Description

Myrtle House is a house that likely dates from the early 19th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century. The building is rendered and features a plain band at the first floor level, a tile roof with coped verges, and brick end stacks. It has a symmetrical design, standing two storeys tall with three bays. The windows are 12-pane sash windows with prominent keystones, except for a 6-pane semi-circular headed casement in the center of the first floor, which includes marginal glazing bars and some decorative stained glass. The central door opening contains a 6-panelled door, topped by a flat wooden hood supported by two wooden columns and half columns attached to the wall. To the left of the main frontage is a rubble barn that is set forward, featuring a slate roof, coped verges, and a decorative finial on the left. There is also a brick forecourt wall that ramps to the right, primarily made with a dressed stone capping and a central wrought iron gate. The property is noted for its group value.
