Row of three cottages, now all one, and attached barn. Circa 1800 in present form, possibly having earlier origin. Coursed squared stone, stone slate roof. L-shaped plan; two storeys, three bays with lower three bay barn to rear right. Quoins. Openings have plain stone surrounds, windows with flat-faced mullions.

Cottage range: each bay has a doorway on left, that to right bay now gone, and a four-light window to each floor. Shaped gutter brackets. Four ridge stacks. Rear: right bay has a four-light window to each floor, central bay a four-light window with five-light window above. On left the barn range projects, the bay nearest cottage range being part of it and having a keyed, arched, first floor window, and the barn a central cart entry with imposts and keystone (narrowed) with inserted light above and blocked mistal doorway on right at lower level. Right return: cottage range: two-light cellar window on right; two windows to ground and first floors, formerly of two- and four-lights, the ground floor left window now with doorway; blocked square opening with ledge to gable.

The building was originally owned by Greenhead House and probably provided accommodation for employees.
