The building is two storeys high and has irregularly placed wood casement windows, with those on the ground floor having sills at ground level. The entrance to No. 2 is through a two-storeyed gabled porch on the right, which is jettied at the first floor and has a boarded door with a moulded surround. No. 1 is accessed via a boarded door with a flat hood located on the left return front.
