The building is two stories high and features a hipped old tile roof. There is a band course between the storeys and cambered openings on the ground floor. Each cottage has one paired casement window, with doorways arranged on each pair, and shared stacks between Nos 1 and 2 and Nos 3 and 4. At each end of the terrace, there are modern tiled brick lean-tos.
