One cottage to the road and the other on the east side, forming an L-plan. Two storeys. Two small modern casements to each storey. Doorway to front cottage at north end, now blocked. Present doorway now at the side.
Inside: each cottage had a kitchen and scullery at ground floor. A cupboard staircase off the scullery led to two first floor rooms. Back-to-back hearths with segmental arched heads to small hearth openings. The bread ovens at the side have been removed. Framing exposed. Varied scantlings and vacant peg and bracing trenches indicate reuse of some timbers.
