The Pump Handle features 19th century two-light iron casements, while Mid-Cot has 19th and 20th century two-light casements, and Hamers has 20th century two-light wooden casements. Each cottage has a 20th century plank stable-type door at its centre. Inside, there are open fireplaces with brick jambs and wooden lintels, back-to-back in Mid-Cot and Hamers.
