C17, mid C19. One-storey and attic, 4 windows. Timber-framed building with an extension on the south side, carried out about the mid C19 when the whole was reconstituted as a pair of Gothick cottages. Prominent old tile roof with a wide overhang, hipped at the south end; at the rear (east) gables at each side enclose a middle section with a low eaves. Four dormers to the front (west) and one on the south face, with steep widely-projecting roofs, decorative bargeboards, scalloped tile-hanging above 2-light casements. Front wall has exposed brick-nogged frame, with brickwork (English bond) at the south side, plinth, cambered opening on the south end; rear gable at the south side has an eaves level band of tiles on brick dentils. The windows have diagonal cast metal panes.

The porch to No 70 has a lower pitch and higher brick side walls. The massive chimney breast on the north gable is planted on the exposed frames; this was repeated at the south end but this stack is now engulfed in the extension.
