Railway cottages. Probably 1870s for a midland railway company. Brick. Welsh slate roofs. Two storeys. A symmetrical composition each house consisting of two bays under a half-hipped roof, except the middle house which breaks forward slightly and is gabled.

All openings have polychromatic brick pointed arches. Entrances to Nos 1, 4 and 7 each under a brick cornice. Nos 2 and 3 and 5 and 6 are paired under a gable with decorative polychromatic brickwork. The doors have diagonal boarding and cusped overlights. Four-pane sashes with raised sills. Two-course brick band at first-floor sill level. Decorative barge-boards, those to the half-hipped roofs pierced with trefoils (some missing). In each end valley is a tall ornamental brick stack each with heavy plinth and cornice. Two slightly more plain stacks flank the centre gable. Three small staircase lights to each return.

The rear elevation is treated similarly to the front but more plain. Each dwelling has a yard with a small back-to-back coal-place.
