The sash windows, some of which have been renewed, feature wedge stone lintels and stone sills. There are small louvred or barred basement openings and an inserted door to the left of No. 24. The houses have a stone modillioned eaves cornice and low-pitched hipped roofs with low off-ridge chimneys.
