The cottages are designed as two-cell units and are one and a half storeys tall, featuring five bays. The first floor has early 19th-century two-light leaded iron casements, while the ground floor has all 20th-century two-light casements flanking the entrances in the outer two bays (Nos 13 and 17). No 15 has casements to the left of its entrance and a half-glazed 20th-century door, similar to No 17. No 13 features a ribbed and studded door with bullseye glass. Above the entrance to No 15, there is a date plaque reading 16-24 I O E.
