Number 10 is constructed of square timber framing and features a 6-fielded-panelled entrance door, wood casements, and a cement plinth. Number 12 has walls of sandstone blocks. A rainwater head of moulded lead, enriched with a relief carving of a cupid’s head and dated 1686, is present. The roof is covered with well-weathered machine tiles, and there is a single-storey stone extension to the rear with an old tile roof. Number 10 contains a staircase that was added after 1694. Numbers 4 to 28 (even) form a group.
