The exterior features painted stucco and an asbestos slated roof with red ridge tiles, along with a left-hand end stack. The cottage has three storeys and two windows. The entrance is adorned with a case of panelled Tuscan pilasters and a plain entablature, leading to a panelled door. Inside, there is a deep internal porch and a panelled, half-glazed inner door. To the right of the entrance is a small 6-pane window, while to the left is a 16-pane sash window with an exposed frame. The upper floors contain 4-pane sash windows, with those on the first floor also having exposed frames. The interior has not been inspected. Nos 2-4, which are consecutive, form a group with this property.
