Each cottage is two storeys high and has two bays, with 2-light mullioned windows in plain surrounds. There is a central door opening on the left half of each cottage, and a further door on the right return, both of which have stone surrounds, plank doors, and thatched bonnet hoods supported by rustic posts. To the left return, there is a one-storey outshut with a pent roof, and the rear has a catslide roof.
