The left gable is rendered, and there is a single red brick ridge stack. The cottages are two storeys high and comprise six bays. The facade features, from left to right, a single casement window, two doorways with partially glazed doors, two glazing bar casement windows, a doorway with a plank door. Above these are a single casement window and two glazing bar casements. The street gable wall is timber framed, with three bays of probably early 18th century box framing, now covered over with render but recently exposed during restoration work.
