They are two storeys high and have a three-window frontage. The windows are a mix of styles including double-hung sashes, leaded casements, and horizontal sliding sashes. The front doors consist of two eight-panel doors, one six-panel door, and one boarded door leading to a cross passage. The roof is tiled and retains old tiles.
