These are two houses located on a corner plot opposite Beverley Minster. They were constructed in the second half of the 18th century. The houses are three storeys high and built of red brick, with a slate roof. Each house has two windows, featuring near-flush frame sash windows with glazing bars. The early 19th-century doorcases have plain pilasters and entablatures. The original 18th-century doors feature six fielded panels and rectangular fanlights. Windows have painted stone heads and sills, and the parapet is finished with moulded stone coping. Coped gable ends are also present.
