Handed pair of cottages and attached dispensary, 1893, by Douglas and Fordham for First Duke of Westminster. Red brick with blue diapering to dormer gables and bases of end gables; white rendered heads to end gables; roof of small grey-green slates; central chimney to cottages with attached diagonal flues rising from the roof; tall plinthed chimney to dispensary with two attached diagonal flues. Two separated projecting dormer gables to front flanked by front doors, left and right. The cottages are of one and a half storeys and one window, with the single-storey two window dispensary, left. Iron casements (leaded glazing removed) to cottages in mullioned windows of moulded brick with three camber-arched lights. Doors have two square panels of leaded glazing above three tall wooden panels. The dispensary (with office) has two mullioned windows of timber; the arched top lights have small panes. The cottages form a terminal feature at the north end of the village; the nurse's accommodation reflects the part which the first Duke played in establishing the system of district nurses in Britain.
