North front elevation: No 1 occupies the central and west bay and has two rectangular C20 lights on the ground floor. Above the central bay is a gabled dormer (possibly C17) with a 2-light C20 casement. There is a C20 lean-to timber-framed porch in the south bay which has partly glazed door, a leaded square light to the left of it and there is a glazed C20 door within. No 3 occupies the east bay and has a ground floor 3-light casement with a plank weathering and a similar gabled dormer to that in the central bay. There is a lean-to porch on timber posts and a half-glazed door. Attic lights in gable ends. At the east end the attic window has been incorporated within an original oriel window with moulded brackets and sill. C20 additions at rear. Interior: No 3 has a chamfered cross-beamed ceiling and a large fireplace with a bread oven. The interior of No 1 is said to retain some original features.
