It features a canted bay window and a plank door set within a flat arch on the ground floor. Above, there are two stone mullioned casement windows. A brick end stack is present. The right-hand building is likely late 18th century and has a higher roofline. It exhibits a canted bay window and a blocked doorway on the ground floor, with a casement window in a dressed stone frame above. A brick end stack is also present.
