It has four-pane sash windows in the left bay and a larger renewed six-pane sash with a twelve-pane sash in the right bay.

It also has a renewed twelve-pane sash above. No. 12 consists of two bays, with the right bay showcasing a six-panel door under a porch supported by octagonal columns with moulded capitals, which carry a frieze and moulded cornice. This bay also has renewed twelve-pane sash windows. All windows have slightly projecting sills. Nos. 6 and 8 have plain eaves cornices, while Nos. 10 and 12 feature moulded cornices on paired moulded brackets.
