They are constructed of red brick with pale yellow brick detailing at the quoins and bays, and feature a hipped thatched roof. The cottages are one and a half storeys high with a symmetrical facade that includes two windows, which are three-light casements with pointed arches and intersecting Y tracery. There are also two pointed-arch doorways, each fitted with a boarded door. Additionally, the cottages have two segmental-headed eyebrow dormers and a central internal stack.
