The left gable end is tile-hung on the first floor. The roof is tiled, with a projecting red brick stack to the left end. The windows are irregularly placed and comprise double two-light casements. The ground-floor windows have segment-headed tops. The doors are plain, with segment-headed tops; No. 28 is off-centre to the left and No. 26 is towards the right end. A rear lean-to exists, constructed with stone walls and a tiled roof. The cottages are listed for group value.
