Two storey terrace of 10 cottages opening directly onto pavement. Built of narrow coursed rubble with stone voussoirs to door and window openings, regular dressed stone quoins, rendered to side; Welsh slate roof with narrow red brick ridge corniced stacks each with 3 pots. Except for no. 14, the centre left unit, front elevations each have single window range and door, with ground floor plan of two rooms one behind the other. No. 14 has 3-window range and central door, with central staircase plan. Formerly probably small-pane sash windows, now mostly two-light casments on first floor and transomed casements on ground floor, some with rendered surrounds, some with slightly cambered heads; replaced doors. Set behind a low masonry revetment which slopes down to right.

Originally staircases rose beside front room fireplace (except for central staircase in no.14), some retained; some stone flagged floors and slabs from former pantries; ground floor ceiling joists of thin scantling, some exposed.
