Sparepenny cottage dates from the 19th century and is constructed of flint rubble with a pantiled roof. Numbers 1 and 2 are single-story with an attic.

A red brick stack sits between numbers 1 and 2. The frame within Number 2 retains stop-chamfered beams with run-out stops. Number 1 has a 20th-century entrance door.
