One storey with attic; each of one window to front, with facade terminated by gabled projections to Nos 13 and 18. Chamfered segmental brick arches over 2-light wood casements with glazing bars to square panes, with some later replacements set in gabled half dormers to central 4 cottages which break dentilled eaves; label moulds over 2- above 3-light casements in gable ends of outer projecting wings, No 13 having been rendered with loss of original detail. Entrances to 13 and 18 in return elevations. Some original plank doors with cover strips, all set under simple timber canopies supported on brick corbels.

Originally built with exposed timber joists to ground-floor ceilings, interior shutters to windows, quarry tile floors and winder stairs.
