Myrtle Cottage, including attached outhouses

Myrtle Cottage, including the attached outhouses, is a building constructed from whitewashed local lias limestone rubble, featuring a thatched roof for the cottage and Welsh slate and corrugated sheeting for the attached outhouses. The cottage is positioned parallel to the road, with the outhouses arranged in a small courtyard behind it.

The cottage has one storey and an attic, with the upper floor entirely within the roof space. The front of the cottage has a 19th-century two-light casement window under an oak lintel on the right side and a simple batten door creating a lobby entry on the left. The roof is decorated at the ridge and has a chimney stack on the east gable end. The east gable features a small paned casement window from the late 20th century for the ground floor and a small window with an oak lintel for the attic, which would have originally lit the stair. The west gable has similar lighting but lacks a chimney, with centrally placed windows. The rear elevation includes a late 20th-century small paned casement and a porch leading to a back door that has been broken through to access an added kitchen. A late 20th-century gabled dormer with a small paned casement is also present on the roof. All these alterations were made in 1980.

Attached to the kitchen wing is a single-storey outhouse with a chimney that was formerly a cobbler's shop. This outhouse has been re-windowed with two late 20th-century small paned casements on the rear, while the front features a plain door and a small 19th-century casement window facing the road. Further attached is a small gabled privy, followed by a pigsty and another outhouse, which has been re-roofed with corrugated sheeting.

Originally, the house had a ladder stair beside the stack, but this was replaced in 1980 with an open stair at the west end. Inside, there are two rooms separated by a stone partition, with a plain fireplace that includes an earthenware cloam oven. The loft above retains original joists and floorboards. The upper floor was not inspected, but all roof timbers were renewed in 1980. The interiors of the outhouses were not seen during the resurvey.
