Harley Cottage and Penrose Cottage are a pair of attached houses built around 1780. They feature a rendered exterior with limestone dressings, brick gables, lateral stacks, and a slate roof. The houses are designed in a mid-Georgian style with a double-depth plan, each having three storeys and an attic, and a two-window range. They are linked by a continuous moulded parapet coping.

Harley Cottage has a symmetrical façade with a bracketed canopy over a six-panel door, horned sash windows with margin panes on the ground and first floors, and 2/2-pane sashes on the second floor, all in exposed frames. The roof is not visible from the front but is slate at the rear. Penrose Cottage is narrower, featuring a right-hand doorway with a small canopy and a six-panel door, 2/2-pane sashes on the ground and second floors, and plate-glass sashes on the first floor, also in exposed frames. It has a steep roof with a tall left-hand gable and rear stacks, along with a rear service block topped with a pyramidal pantile roof.

The properties are complemented by attached cast-iron front garden railings and gates with urn finials, as well as gate piers with domed caps. The interior has not been inspected.
