They have paired four-panel doors beneath bracketed cornices, with a canted bay containing sash windows with glazing bars to the left and an early 19th century shop window to the right. The first floor has sash windows with glazing bars, set within cambered gauged brick arches. Number 16 is two storeys high and one bay wide. It has a 20th century glazed front door with a fanlight featuring radial glazing within a reeded doorcase. To the left is a similarly detailed shopfront, also altered in the 20th century. The first floor has a 16-pane sash window under a cambered brick head. The buildings are included on the list for their group value.
