Pair of houses. Circa 1870, rebuilding an earlier structure.

Timber framed with herringbone brick panel infill, and brick extensions, with plain tiled roofs. Timber framed main range of 2 bays and one-and-a-half storeys, with doorways, one in a small porch carried on curved struts, each side of 2 casement windows. Upper windows are partly in the roof, with gabled dormers.

Brick bay to left hand side, incorporating some 18th Century brickwork, though largely of the 19th Century. Brick plinth below framing also probably 18th Century, though the framing itself, and the panel infill, are probably 19th Century.

Inside: fireplace bressumer and ceiling beam also probably remaining from earlier building. Tall fluted axial stacks. Late 20th Century addition to right.
