A view of a timber-framed house and adjoining cottages with a lane running along the front of them and two figures standing outside. The house and cottages are on the right of the composition and appear to be in a state of decay. The house is seen at an angle to reveal a gable end and part of its facade in shadow; the upper storey overhangs the ground floor, which is smaller to accommodate the pavement, laid in a herringbone design, that runs around the front of the house; the lattice-pattern, leaded windows in the upper storey are open, as is the door in the gable end of the house with a mat laid outside; on the same side, a brick chimney runs up the exterior of the house and adjoining cottage. The cottages are in the shadow. The figures stand in the lane as it curves around the buildings: the figure on the left, in profile to the right, wears a black shawl drawn over her head and blue skirt, and the figure to the right, forward-facing, with head bowed and both hands resting on the top of a cane, wears a jacket and trousers with a red hat.
