Row of four cottages. Probably C17, with considerable C19 and C20 modifications. Limestone rubble, stone slate roofs at two levels (Nos 49 and 50 at lower level); four ridge stacks to gables of Nos 51 and 52, but along ridge to Nos 49 and 50. From entrance (north) side left-hand unit is 1½ storeys with four raking eaves dormers over three casements, that to No 50 in steel, remainder wood with leading; plank door to No 49, and stable door in lean-to extension to No 50. Far left is small single storey extension, reputed to be part of earlier cottage. Right-hand unit is two storeys and attic, with scattered fenestration, including two-light in re-set hollow chamfer stone surround centre first floor, and a similar single light to right; ground floor right is steel casement, and a small raking dormer is inserted to No 51. Plank door, left to No 51, and C20 glazed door set back deep to No 52. Right return gable with steel casements.

South fronts to churchyard has, to left section, three small gabled dormers over two-light steel casements, then two-light and three-light wood casements, over two steel casements, a small casement set into stone set-back panel, centrally, and right, a larger cross-mullioned stone casement with hollow-chamfer members. Right section has four small two-light eaves dormers over the two-light and one three-light casements. Windows generally leaded and set to wood/lintels, but in No 52 most windows have been replaced with steel casement.

Interior of No 51 includes wide wood bressumer fire, with solid stone cheek one side and moulded stone member to right, probably a re-used element, and rough beams and roof timbers of early build. Other interiors not seen. A modest row of buildings, holding an important place to the north edge of the churchyard, containing simple vernacular elements; No 52, with inserted non-conforming steel casements is included primarily for group value, and the floor levels of Nos 51 and 52 'interlocks' so as to make separation difficult. Part of the property is reputed at one time to have been almshouses.
