Row of 3 cottages possibly originally 4. Mid C17 to early C18. Rendered and plastered cob walls. Gable-ended thatch roof.3 brick axial stacks.

Halcyon Cottage has a single room plan. Sunnyside at present consists of 3 rooms, of which the right-hand one used to be a shop, but it may formerly have been 2 cottages.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Howard's has a regular 2-window front of C20 1, 2 and 3-light casements with a C20 part-glazed door to right of centre under a thatch doorhood. Halcyon has asymmetrical 2-window front of C20 sashes without glazing bars with C20 part-glazed door to left. Sunnyside has long asymmetrical 3-window front of circa late C19 4-pane sashes on the 1st floor and ground floor apart from late C19 or early C20 shop front to right. C19 panelled and part-glazed door to left of centre.1st floor windows have gables in thatch above with decorative bargeboards.
Interior: Howard's has open fireplace which appears to have been rebuilt but has ovolo-moulded wooden lintel suggesting a C17 date. Feet of rough straight principle rafters visible on 1st floor. To include decorative C19 iron railings to garden area at right end of Sunnyside.
