Brick in English Garden Wall Bond with some timbers, thatched roof, now covered by asbestos-cement sheets. Single storey and attic, 3 bays, the original cottage, north-east, is only one bay. Boarded doors front and rear and flush casements, the north-east cottage has multiple glazing front and rear. Truss with "V" struts exposed in north-east gable. At the rear both corner posts of the original cottage remain as do the front and rear wall-plates, morticed for small framing. First floor windows are in the south-west gable and raking dormers. Gable barge boards. The south-west cottage has a gable-end stack whereas the north-east cottage has a party wall stack which would have originally been at its south-west gable. Interior: The north-east cottage is baffle entry into the single ground floor room with the winder staircase rising to the left of the front door against the stack. Beam over a wide and deep fireplace and a single chamfered ceiling beam. In the single room attic a "V" strutted truss, similar to the gable truss, is over the party wall.
