They are one storey and attic high, with a five-window range, plus a 19th-century addition with one window at the west end. The 19th-century attic has gabled dormers with old casements, while the ground floor has modern casements and a splayed bay. Number 22 includes a pilastered doorcase with an entablature and a panelled door. Both cottages have rendered brick end and ridge chimney stacks. They are included for their group value.
