The cottages are double-depth, L-shaped, and two stories tall. Each cottage has a door on the left side with a square-cut surround, and there are four-light recessed flat-faced stone mullion windows on both floors, along with a ridge chimney stack. Additionally, there are two-light windows located in the gable and at the rear of each cottage.
