The cottages are one-and-a-half storeys in height, with a total of four windows on the first floor. These windows are wooden casements with glazing bars, consisting of two, three, and four lights respectively, and have wooden sills and lintels. The front door of the first cottage is a plank door, studded and fitted with two strap hinges, dating from the 20th century.
