Justifiably listed Grade II of Architectural and Historical Importance. Myrtle Cottage is quite simply a quintessential classic English 'chocolate box' cottage offering a wealth of charm and character.

The cottage is constructed from local stone façades with period casement windows, under a clay tiled roof. There are many period features remaining, including exposed ceiling and wall beams, beautiful oak thumb latched doors, flagstone flooring, original stone inglenook fireplace with seats and bread oven, period casement windows and several window seats all to name but a few.

This fine residence offers generous accommodation over two floors with a layout which reflects its early 17th century origins. There is plenty of room for entertaining and relaxation. A charming hallway leads to the two wonderfully spacious and well-presented reception rooms with the drawing room featuring a stone inglenook fireplace with bread oven and wood burning stove. Additionally, the formal dining room lies next to the kitchen and has a turned oak staircase rising to the first floor landing. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of Shaker style cupboards, an oil fired two oven Rayburn with ample room for a dining table. French doors lead out to a terrace. Off of the kitchen there is a utility room with further base cupboards and inset stainless steel sink. The study/bedroom four offers versatility for those requiring a fourth bedroom or another reception room.

On the first floor are three excellent sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom suite features an impressive dressing room and an en-suite shower room which completes the internal footprint to this wonderful period home.
