Gable end stack to left with large rubble shaft and shaped top; gable end stack to right with rubble shaft with slate weathering and brick chimney. The linking block has slurried scantle slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends. Plan: Two houses, arranged in an L-plan, with one house to south and one house to north; they are linked by a one-room plan addition. The house to south is of 2-room plan with central entrance, each room heated from a gable end stack. The room to right was probably the parlour and the room to left the kitchen. To rear left, there is a one-room plan addition, unheated; this forms the link, built in early C19, between the two houses. The house to north has its front at the left side of the L- plan range. It is also of circa late C17, of 2-room plan, with central entrance, each room heated from a gable end stack. Exterior: The house to south is 2-storey, a nearly symmetrical 2-window front. Ground floor has central plank door with wooden lintel. C19 2-light 3-pane casement to left and right with wooden lintels. First floor has C19 2-light 6-pane casement with wooden lintel to left and right. The right end is blind. The left end has oven at the base of the stack; at upper level the cob is exposed. To rear left is the linking addition; this is 2-storey. At ground floor there is a C19 3-light 6 and 8-pane casement and plank door. First floor has 2-light 4-pane C19 casement. The house to north is 2-storey, a nearly symmetrical 3-window front. Ground floor has C19 4-panelled door with top glazed panel. C19 16-pane sash to right and left. First floor has two C19 16-pane sashes to left and one C19 16-pane sash to right.
