Symmetrical about the corner: a square corner block with chamfered angles and conical roof, to which are attached by short links 2 wings with half-hipped gables. 2 storeys. Mullion and transom casement windows with segmental arches in pale yellow brick; the original lead lattice cames only remain in the upper part of each light. One doorway is placed on the corner, with half-hipped open timber porch. 2 other doorways in the side walls of the wings have been blocked but the porches remain. 2 stacks with grouped flues and a single flue at the apex of the corner block. Part of the model village of estate workers' cottages built around the green for Sir Morton Peto to the designs of John Thomas. Includes No.1 The Street.
