The buildings are two storeys high and constructed of yellow brick with a tiled roof. Number 1 features two sash windows and a door to the right, which has a reeded surround and a plain hood. Numbers 2 and 2a have two windows on the upper storey, one sash and one casement, along with a window, a door, and a blocked window and door, similar to those of Number 1.
