Myross Cottage

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1760, having two-storey flanking block (west), single-storey flanking block (east), and recent conservatory (south-west). Hipped slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and uPVC rainwater goods. Painted roughcast rendered walls with plinths. Square-headed openings with tripartite one-over-one timber sliding sash windows to first floor and one-over-one timber sliding sash windows to ground floor, rear, and flanking blocks. Concrete sills throughout. Square-headed door openings with timber glazed door with overlight to south and timber panelled door with sidelights and spoked fanlight to north (rear). Outbuildings to rear. Rubble limestone walls with gate piers and timber gate to rear.

A curious house, which was extended, renovated and altered throughout the centuries to accommodate changes in the owners requirements. Its irregular form, irregularly placed fenestration and variety of window fittings make for a building a great character. In spite of these changes, the house retains much of its eighteenth century character, and is a reminder of the high status homes which existed at that time in this remote part of the country.
