Description
These are two early 19th-century cottages built of colour-washed brick, with an old tile roof and a modillion cornice. The cottages have two storeys. The first floor has two two-light casement windows; a modern window on the right and an original on the left, both with drip moulds. The ground floor has two altered windows, one a modern shallow bow window, and a door within a modern, gabled porch. A one-and-a-half-storey addition, similar in style, extends to the north, with a gable and drip moulds over the ground and first-floor end windows, and over the ground-floor front window. There is a blank panel above the front window. The building features ornamental bargeboards.
