Flemish bond red brick with decorative burnt headers and buff-yellow coloured bricks used on the corners, windows and extensively in the chimneyshafts for decorative effect, most often looking like quoins; brick stacks and large divided chimneyshafts with projecting bands; red tile roof.

Plan: Pair of contemporary cottages facing east with No 1 to right (north) and No 2 to left (south). Each cottage is a mirror-plan of the other and has an L-shaped plan, an inner room in the main block and outer crosswing room projecting forward each end. Axial stacks in each cottage serves back-to-back fireplaces. Entrances through porches towards the rear of the crosswings.

Cottages are 2 storeys.

All the windows have low brick segmental arches over except the 2 first floor central windows which have gables over. Gabled porches project each end and have elliptical-headed front arches with gables over and contain original doors with herringbone plank patterns. All the gables have original wavey bargeboards.

This pair of cottages, built for the Somerhill Estate, are a good and very complete pair of late C19 cottages and form a group with Nos 1-4 Crockhurst Street Cottages (q.v.) opposite.
