Reflected pair with doorways towards centre and windows to outer side. Boarded doors with segmental heads under open gabled wooden porches; 3-light casement windows under segmental heads with chamfered brick sills, containing small-pane iron glazing. Similar 2-light windows with iron glazing aligned to upper storey. To the centre above the doorways, is a small datestone reading "H.A.H. 1870". The rear of the cottages is built steeply into the hillside, with windows similar to front.
