Square-headed window openings with brick reveals and timber sash windows. uPVC window to rear elevation. Square-headed door openings with brick reveals and timber battened doors.

These workers' houses are known as ""Laundry Cottages"" owing to their function in the past as a laundry for neighbouring Milltown Park. The survival of many original features contributes to their character.
