Pale metric modular brick on timber frame, with blue metal roofs. Nos. 6-7 Brinkburn Place (flats) have red-brown weatherboarding, and Nos. 4 and 5 Kendal Green (the only flats in this terrace) has blue weatherboarding. Prominent catslide roofs to rear of end units. Two storeys. Timber windows with aluminium opening lights. Timber doors with glazed panel, some renewed in hardwood. Interiors not inspected. In recognition that the Byker area had an elderly age profile when it was being redeveloped in the early 1970s, the Kendal Street area was developed with a number of units built as two flats which were capable of adaptation to houses should the need for more family accommodation arise, and this is well demonstrated by the number of units here, principally at the ends or next to the ends of terraces, which were designed for this conversion.
