They have mirror plans comprising large inner heated rooms and small outer unheated rooms. Central stack in party wall serving back-to-back fireplaces. Paddocks to left (west) now has door in end wall through C20 porch. 2 storeys. Originally a symmetrical front, each cottage with 2 windows and central door. Nymet Cottage preserves the original arrangement although windows containing leaded glass and door with monopitch hood are C20 replacements. Paddocks Cottage also has C20 casements with glazing bars but the door is now blocked by a window and the cottage is entered through a slate- roofed porch on the end. Roof is half-hipped each end. Interiors have plain carpentry detail. The larger room of Paddocks Cottage has a roughly finished axial beam but similar in Nymet Cottage has been replaced. Both have rubble fireplaces with plain oak lintels and ovens towards rear. During renovation work in Nymet Cottage a half-penny of 1806 was discovered under a window sill. Nymet Cottages on O.S.map.
