Cottage, latterly divided. Mid-to-late C17 with later additions and alterations. Timber framed with painted brick infill on sandstone plinth, plain tiled roof. One storey and attic, lit by 2 gabled eaves dormers; 2 framed bays. Framing: 3 rectangular panels from cill to wall plate. Mid-C19 casements and fixed light windows with latticed glazing, filling panels of framing (inserted in 1960's), 2 pairs to left, one pair to centre and one pair to right; latticed lights also to dormers. Mid-C20 boarded door with barley-sugar twisted colonettes to surround to right; roughly central ridge stack re-built in mid-C19 purplish-brown brick. Mid-C19 brick addition at right-angles to rear. There was formerly an entrance to left (leading to former No.122, which is now part of No.123) but this has been blocked and windows inserted in its place. The windows in fact came from the C19 additions to Maer Hall (q.v.), demolished in the 1960's.
