They date from the 16th to 17th century and are constructed with a timber frame and plaster, topped with a pantiled roof. The building is two storeys high and features a single range gable end facing the road. It has four windows, which are 19th-century casements with two lights and three lights. There are also two boarded doors. The structure includes an internal stack and an external stack located at the south gable end.
