Early 19th century, these are a pair of houses forming part of a row. They are built of hammer-dressed stone with a pitched roof of stone slate. The roofline features stone brackets, and there is an ashlar chimney stack. The south elevation has two entrances, each with a stone surround. The ground floor includes a five-light mullioned window, where two lights are blocked and sit under a double lintel, and a three-light mullioned window with one blocked light and a double lintel. The first floor has a seven-light mullioned window with the central light blocked, and a five-light mullioned window with one light blocked. The east elevation features a two-light stone mullioned window that is blocked.
