Norrells is a single storey with attics, also having a two-window range with 20th-century casements. Both cottages have thatched roofs, with Norrells featuring two dormers—one gabled and one with a flat roof. Balloch Myle, Norrells, Leighs Cottage, Milton House, Half Thatch, and Hope Cottage form a group, with Leighs Cottage, Milton House, and Half Thatch being recognized as buildings of local interest.
