Pair of cottages. Mid C19 but with substantial remains of earlier core - probably C17. Brick with remains of timber-framing, and Welsh slate roof. EXTERIOR: 2-storeyed, the 2 cottages form a picturesque composition with parallel ranges originally symmetrical and joined by a lower wing. No.390 apparently entirely mid C19. Doorway is centre of main elevation, in recessed porch with timber lintel and decoration in the spandrels, and projecting squared bay windows each side, possibly added in later C19.

Lower wing to right, with similar window to ground floor, and gabled dormer in roof, with overhanging eaves with finial. End wall and axial stacks. This lower wing links to the gable end of No.388, the main range of which is parallel to that of No.390. Painted brick with remnants of timber-framing in square panels to right, and heavy slate roof. Left-hand section probably rebuilt in brick, and with inserted windows in projecting brick panel. Advanced gable to right a separate build, also painted brick, but roofed separately in Welsh slate. Doorway in angle of this gable in added porch. Advanced right-hand gable has inserted windows in original openings with dentilled hoodmoulds over. Decorative bargeboards to overhanging eaves.
