The buildings are two storeys high and have a three-window range. Chestnut Cottage has a timber lintel over a 20th-century plank door, a 20th-century porch, and a left gable entry to Loder's Cottage. The windows are 20th-century casements with timber lintels, except for a flat stone arch to the left of the door. The roof is half-hipped with stacks at the left end and ridge. Inside Chestnut Cottage, there are plain chamfered beams and a bressumer over the fireplace.
