Only no,19 has original fenestration and door, ie, casements of three lights on ground floor and two on first floor with cavetto mullions and glazing bars so disposed as to produce octagonal panes separated by diamond shaped panes, and a door with six tall octagonal panels and an overlight with octagonal panes as in the windows. At the time of the survey (summer 1984) nos, 11 and 13 had modern replacement windows and doors re-constructed to the pattern of no.19".
