The pair of three-storey houses are Grade 2 listed, and are of the early or mid 19C, built of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and a stone-slate roof. The far side has loading doors on the first and second floors; the first-floor one is approached by flight of 12 stone steps. This side can be seen on http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/images/34/01/L340140.jpg At the back a door on the second floor is reached by a wooden ladder. The two-storey houses were built as back-to-backs, so the archway will have led to the houses at the rear.
