One and a half storey stucco rendered house with raised stucco plinth, imitation slate gabled roof and large rendered square ridge stack to right (central to pair of cottages). One-window range with renewed 4-pane horned timber sash to ground floor centre with stone sill. Boarded timber door to left with narrow rectangular overlight. Small 4-pane horned timber sash to central attic dormer with pitched slate roof, slate-hung sides, boarded timber gable and plain timber bargeboard. Similar eaves board and renewed rainwater goods and downpipe to left angle.
