Each is a mirror image of the other and they share a central chimney stack; the cottages are divided by a buttress on the ground floor. The windows are arranged asymmetrically and have moulded brick, mullions, and sill bands, as well as a string course between the floors. Each cottage has a five-light mullioned window positioned inward and a single-light window outward on the lower floor. The upper floor has a pair of 2-light windows on the inner side and a pair of 3-light windows on the outer side, both under a rendered gable decorated with a lozenge brickwork pattern. Both cottages have entrances on the side wall, with front-offset doorways featuring cambered heads and boarded doors with strap hinges, topped by small windows under the eaves. Toward the rear, each cottage has a single-light window on the lower floor, a two-light mullioned window on the upper floor, and an additional recessed window on the lower level. Both cottages have rear extensions added in the 20th century.
