The Old Village Shop and Home Close are a pair of houses, originally a village shop and butcher’s premises, dating to around 1840 and built by the Bedford Estate. The buildings are constructed of red brick with grey headers, and have a tiled roof featuring nine clustered brick stacks and one isolated stack. They are two storeys high with three windows. The buildings feature projecting gables and a recessed central bay in one section. The windows are casement style. The Old Village Shop has a canted bay window to the front and a gabled porch with a semi-circular fanlight to the side. Home Close has a hipped brick porch with sidelights and three windows on its front elevation. The gables have blank panels above the first-floor windows, kneelers, and chamfered pilasters.
