Myrtle Cottage, High Street, Town Yetholm

Earlier/mid-18th century, long vernacular two-storey block comprising pair of cottages, near symmetrical west (entrance) elevation with three widely spaced first floor windows. Cottage to north has a central door with bipartite window to the left and one window to the right. Cottage to south has bipartite window to the right of the door. Present two-storey form probably late 18th century, possibly raised from single-storey block early on (line visible at first floor cills) when windows may also have been enlarged.

Harled random rubble with slightly battered walls, boulder base and broad stone skews. Ground floor bipartite windows are 20th century alterations, with concrete mullions and lintels. Left door has timber lintel.

Single window off-centre in south gable. North gable is surviving mutual gable from demolished adjacent building (some structural damage to Myrtle Cottage at first floor from time of this demolition). Narrower asymmetrically placed windows, and single-storey outshot additions (brick and stone) on rear elevation.

Sash and case glazing with eight lying panes. Vertically boarded doors. Steeply pitched roof and thack-stanes (indicating original thatch) on two gablehead and one central ridge brick chimneystacks.
