They are arranged parallel to each other, one fronting Halse Lane and one directly behind with a small central extension on its southeastern face. These sit within land parcel 673, with a clear plot labelled 672 to the east. Together, these are described in the Apportionment as "Three Cottages and Gardens" in a place called Townsend, owned by Sir Thomas Dyke Acland and occupied by William Clatworthy.
