Renewed slate roof with brick chimney stacks, mostly rendered; wide boarded eaves. All retain some small pane sash windows - 9 and 12-pane throughout Nos 3 and 5. Later half glazed doors. 2-small windows to left end, once with weaving loft door to gable. Modern windows at rear where No 3 is shallower. High revetment wall beyond against the former castle mound.
