Each pair has 2 plank doors together, in a heavy chamfered wooden frame, a 3-light ovolo-moulded casement window with ironcentral opening light for each house, a gable over the door with a single small 2-light ovolo-moulded window with leaded lattice glazing, and a shared central chimney with a pair of diagonally set shafts. Toothed corbel course below the eaves and low plastered plinth. Modern single-storey small additions at rear and each end. Red brick wall around elongated forecourt garden, taller at ends, reduced at front but with heavy sloped brick coping reinstated. Square gatepiers with stone caps and C20 wrought iron gate. A landmark at a bend in the road at the S end of the village."
