Detached limestone-built railway cottage, built c.1850, formerly semi-detached pair, having three-bay half-dormered south elevation with gables, and four-bay two-storey rear. Entrance to western house being in east gable, and that of eastern being set in gabled shallow stone porch to south elevation. Pitched slate roof with central four-offset brick chimneystack on dressed stone plinth, and dressed stone copings with kneelers supported on corbels. Coursed limestone walls to house and porch with sparrow-pecked quoins having draughted margins, and projecting plinth. Square-headed window openings with raised stone surrounds and tooled limestone sills, having stone label-mouldings to front ground floor windows, and replacement uPVC windows. Tudor-arched outer opening to porch in south elevation, having dressed stone surround and copings to gable with kneelers and supprted on corbels, with stone step and replacement square-headed uPVC inner door. House is set in line and symmetrically placed with others, having gardens to front and rear and limestone and rendered boundary walls to road.
This well detailed former pair of semi-detached railway workers' cottages has remained relatively unchanged from its original form and presents, with the other cottages in the group, a visually attractive composition considerably enhancing the Woodlawn Railway Station complex. Tudor Revival architectural detailing is a notable feature of the dwellings and good craftsmanship is evident in the dressing of the masonry.
