No. 5 has a plank door to the right of centre with an eight-light casement window to the left and a single casement window to the right. To the first floor are two, two-light leaded casements. Attached to the right return is a C20 single-storey extension. To the rear (north-west) elevation a catslide roof incorporates the single-storey extensions at Nos. 1 to 3. There is one dormer window to the rear of No.1, two dormer windows to No.2 and a gablet and a velux window to No.3. To the rear of No. 4 is a lean-to extension with one eyebrow dormer window to the attic with a two-light casement window, and a single casement to the first floor.

Interior: the interior of No. 1 and 3 has not been inspected (2013) but are understood to retain their open fireplaces with bressumers supported on stone jambs and chamfered ceiling beams. The interior of No.2 was inspected (2013) and has had its fireplace and bread oven removed. The plank doors are C20. It retains its chamfered ceiling beam and joists. There is evidence for a former opening in the original rear wall, to the left of the staircase. The roof structure has been replaced in the late C20, although the C18 principal rafters survive. Based on the 1987 List entry the interior of No. 4 has an open fireplace with bressumer supported on stone jambs, and plank doors. The interior of No. 5 has a chamfered ceiling beam and blocked open fireplace.
